The long story short is the kit makes great low end and on a stock block at the most you want to make is about 560 ft lbs of torque and you can achieve that with a stock manifold. I think there maybe some benefits to the guys and gals with a Stillen supercharger that doesn't come close to maxing out the engine internals but for those achieving numbers close to the max without it, I don't see much benefit. Just my two cents!

But if I can swap to the new manifold and make the same power with less boost and timing, that's less heat and stress on the system even if the peak numbers stay the same. That's why I wanted to see some results when just the manifold was changed.
