Nothing that makes me want a new intake manifold in a bad way...

they provide insane top-end results, they are essential dues to the cam profile of our motors.

I'm probably just stupid. I guess the fact that i'm running a 2560 also has something to do with that since the stock manifold isn't my limiting factor... the 2560 is...

which is what I initially was arguing I suppose. I'm "tapped out"!

p.s. i'm searching for intake manifold dynos like crazy so I can be less ignant.

edit: found some dynos with nice evidence on the IM's. carry on good sirz. Now I need a new tb and turbo. see ya later

Not sure what gave me the idea they were rubbish. CLEARLY crazy.

Except the setup we just dynod does better than all of those above bar none.

So with a 2560 whats the point?

I have no idea, and neither does anybody else.

Regardless of the dyno, the area under the curve is good.

The main thing I dont follow is why the log manifold out spools this one.

Ill get them overlayed, the Log is winning until about 500rpm before the logs peak torque, then the tubular just flies past.

Thats not exactly true. A well designed and insulated tubular should have a lower boost threshold rpm and spool faster.

Screw the dyno, it's just like masterbating in public!
How much quicker on the track? Will the set up last more than 30 minutes flat out running all of it!

Brain's post begs the question, why doesn't Dann look into adding superawesome intake manifold to his 1.6? Wouldn't that make allofit moreofit?

Hahaha.

Oh man. I intend to to an inlet manifold with the efr but you want me to do that first and then dyno again?

Suppose we could.

Those results will be extremely interesting to see, Dan. I for one would be very appreciative if you would do that.
