'94-'98 Evolution's

What pneumatics did they come with? The two I have seen (both '97) seem to have had stock brass ram's and 3 way's along with black sledge's, like on a regular cocker.

The ram and lpr are stock but they've been hand-matched by the Belsales airsmiths. The 3-way was a one piece brass called "Angry" 3-way designed by Belsales. Later models had the stock lpr fitted with a "twister" adjuster. I'm sure some other can elaborate on this more.

yes, the Rams where polished and hand matched for best action. the LPR was generally the stock Sledgehammer, but the later models had an adjustment cap so that you can tune the pressure like a Rock. the earliest, pre96 had stock 3 ways. like above, they Belsales took the 3 ways and matched the actuating rod to the 3 way to get the best possible action on the 3 way. later on, Belsales had grown tired of the poor stock units and made their own 3 way, called the "Angry", and was a top notched performer till the Shocktech "Bomb". if you want to make sure that they are stock, check the hoses. if they have the top hats(clamps that kept the hoses from blowing off) then they haven't been replaced. if you have later barbed inlets, you might not have the stock units.

When you say "stock units" are you talking about stock Evolution parts or stock WGP parts? Also, were the '97's supposed to come with a twister adjuster on the sledgehammer (both that I've seen did NOT have)? Thanks for the info guys....

A review by Ravi Chopra......

Ravi's Article on the Evolution AutoCocker

They used tuned, stock, WGP parts in the early Evos...
