It really depends on what your goals are. If you only care about peak HP then it's probably not worth it since these typically don't net you much up top.

Now if you live in reality and care about the midrange power then my opinion is buy the M370.

COMPLETELY disagree, sorry brother

I make a manifold conversion too and I dyno'd it, installed the new manifold, then re-dyno'd it, same day, didn't even move the car, AND my car had TP's, intakes, a CBE, and no tune

I lost 2-4WHP peak (above 7200RPM), but gained 12-15HP AND TQ across MOST the powerband. The loss of peak HP is NOTHING compared to the area you gain under the curve.
Ask ChrisChhorn, he's got my manifold
