Is it possible to run 11.99 or better on my setup here.....

I think he can make it without spending the assload of money on the intake mani. If he wants to rev to 8500 or something it may be another story but he would have to do more (springs and retainers) to even think about that. If I were him and planning on reving to 7500 or so, a 1g intake mani will keep the party going long enough. We will see though if I get my car dynoed how quick it tapers off. I am a little bigger than a 50 trim.

A 1g intake manifold starts to puke at about 6500 rpm on a higher HP car.

Untouched the 1g head is better. If you want the most flow possible, and are willing to spend the money on max porting, the 2g is a better head.

I thought the 1g - 2g heads had different passeges and such? So using a 1g intake mani on a 2g head is a stupid idea?

UPDATE: Well I just ordered the Magnus this morning from ExtremePSI. I just went ahead and did it before the price went up. I will have it by Wednesday. I'm tired of dinking around with deciding what to do.

As for tuning..... I think i a pretty dam good tuner and driver. Computer Networking/ Programming is my job so i'm used to figuring stuff out. I just got this GSX car in late August and have no track time in it. I did very well at the track with my old and sold '97 GST.

By the way those who are thinking about buying a Magnus for a 2g, the new $715 price does NOT include the bellmouth velocity stacks. I called. That's another $220 option!!! I copied all the specs of the Magnus from another member on here but i thought i would just get (one) so i could reverse engineer it some more in detail. My brother is excited and wants to machine/manufacture one of these. We own a large shop with a CNC lathe and CNC mill. I would like to manufacture something like this for less cost WITH the bellmouths if anyone is interested. I ordered the 2" tubing for the runners and the 1/8" sheet aluminum to get us started.

is 14s with a s16g an accomplishment? I suppose it was FWD. Im not bashing, just curious since most people dont run FWDs.

Well, Craig ran a 14.1 in his $1500 laser and a 14b. It has a boost controller and 3" turbo back on it. I don't remember if it has a UICP or not, but I don't think so.
