On my personal 440...no. My dad's street and strip cars and his drag car(chebbie ..gulp) as well as a couple buddies locally, yes. I've tuned with them. I've driven them, just not on a 440. I have driven a 408 stroker with a tunnel ram as well.

The reason I say what I do, is because I think the tunnel rams on a street car is way over kill. And at least on the ones I've been around, the amount of tuning and what it takes, I just don't think it works well on a street machine. however, every engine is different, one 440 built the exact same as another 440 down to the bolts, may very well react differently to a tunnel ram.

So if you have it, run it and if it works out awesomely for you, then that is great. :cheers:

However, my own experiences with them, I just can't recommend it. too much headache for no gain. But its merely my opinion, I'm no expert by any means. I wouldn't even pay 2 cents for my opinion either haha

No problem on my end and i hope i did sound off like i was trying to be a dick. with the 2 edelbrock carbs all i did was pull them out of the box put them on the tunnerlam and set the idle.unless there was something wrong with my holley 750Dp, i could beleave how much better the car ran after the intake change. i mean after the intake change driving the 65 on there street i could not beleave how much more low end power the engine was making.Now i know i was not making 500 hp etc but for a junk yard motor i just threw togeather the car ran very good. i used to drive the 65 on the street all the time unless it was snowing.oh for got i also had to change out the idle jet springs. the car had no bog off the line etc. well i hope it works out for the op and if not then at least he can say he wouldnt know if he didnt try it. thanks Mopar65
