Need big block help.

the words first time build and tunnel ram should not be in the same sentence.

HE WANTS THE TUNNEL RAM BECAUSE IT LOOKS COOL!

Ya it looks cool but for a novice builder they are gonna be a headache to tune. Unless he runs a ton of rear gear and stall its gonna be a dog down low. its gonna bog and backfire etc.

this is exactly how projects stall. guys get discouraged and let car sit. I think he should keep the tunnel ram on the shelf in the garage. pick up a used duel plane single 4 intake with a 750 cfm carb and run it.
