just wanted to start up the manifold discussion again after having mine rolling roaded today (actually it has taken 4 days as new parts were required), The two places that my engine was being strangled was at the air intake, old box gone and new K&Ns fitted...........the other is the manifold, are there any 4 branches around or will it have to be a custom made one?
So what were the power runs like on the rolling road, before the latest work, and after it?

Jerry,
Looks like you've done what I'm having done! Noooo! not at all a rude question about the manifold, the straight answer is I dont know simply because it was on the car when I bought it,but,its definately not stainless steel so more than likely its mild steel.
Regards,
Shane

You could get that sort of increase with a simple head skim.... no need for an expensive piston change.

What ECU are you using for your EFI.

I have been looking around and there is so much choice.

Thanks

Thanks, is that the S40 or are there extra features in the S60 that you need.

I have been looking at these and there is quite a jump in price. A comparison table on their website would be handy.
