Does anyone on the list have experience with the Ram Subarus?  I have 

seen many mentions of Stratus, but fewer of the Ram shop.  I would be 

interested in hearing how they perform in "real life".



Thanks.

I have about 80 hours on my 100 HP Ram engine. It's still running well.

Chris,

I fly behind a Stratus, but before the third hour of running, I sent my 

heads to Ron of RAM Performance to replace valve guides with a 

hat-section guide press fit with a temperature differential. He put in 

larger valves, heavier springs and cleaned up ports.  He improved the 

reliability of my Stratus guides. Ron does exceptional work.  I'd 

suspect his engines are all the quality you'd expect as well.  At the 

time I was looking at engines, he had a cross-intake manifold with a 

carburetor on top that cramped my cowl.

Now, I see he's got a first rate re-drive and a lower profile on the 100 

hp engine to boot.  I prefer the separate Bing Carbs for my Stratus, but 

would have no difficulty

buying an engine from Ron if his price is currently right.
