Re: manifold advice?
There are reasons why FP products are generally higher priced that everyone else's. Buy the FP manifold and call it good, you won't be disappointed. You're only wasting time and money if you buy SBR shit or any of the GT manifolds. Go read some of the posts on Toonerz by Robert Young discussing his FP manifold, it's not all about quality of casting, it's also about fluid dynamics.

Re: manifold advice?
A ported EVOIII manifold flows more than a ported 2G from what I've read. Eitherway, both are good so stick with the ported 2G if thats what you already have (and its still in good usable condition).

Re: manifold advice?
^But is the fp $200 better than an evoIII in my case? I'm only shooting for upper 300awhp.

Re: manifold advice?
Nope, that $200 is better put towards something else, if that is your goal.

Re: manifold advice?
Thats what I was thinking. Maybe I'll but another set of 1000cc injectors because I have yet to get mine from jake.

You don't need the 1000cc injectors for 300awhp.

Re: manifold advice?
^I said high 300s. 350 would be tits imo.
I had my car tuned with the 50 trim, 680ccs, 255, afpr, and link and she only spit out a sad 265 Now I'm pretty sure something was messed up and those numbers weren't right, but o well, get tuned somewhere else I guess. I'd like to run e85 and see what she makes.

If he wants upper 300s on e85 might as well get 1000cc injectors. |

Re: manifold advice?
Ok,
You don't need the 1000cc injectors for 400awhp.

Your injectors weren't maxed at that level though. Throwing more fuel at it won't make more power, you need the air to go with it. What boost were you running? Do you have a nice FMIC and 3" exhaust?

Get the 1000cc injectors, I missed the part about you running e85.

Damn, missed that part of it. If we ever get e85 I'll be in heaven.

Re: manifold advice?
^I've already bought the 1000s so i'll see if those ever get here haha.
And yea I've got the basic idea of how e85 works. I've upgraded all my lines, I've got link, i'll have the injectors, fpr, 255. e85 burns a lot cooler and allows you to up the boost safely. If I'm wrong lmk
