On that same point, it probably won't be worth it on a turbo charged or supercharged motor that is not built as well. I say this because the gains with the other two manifold conversions show great low end and mid range outputs. On a stock block the oem manifold is good enough on the bottom end. My motor is at 560tq and because of that my top end on whp is limited. Seb told me it would make significantly more whp but he can't keep the tq down to do so. Adding a upper manifold at this point would not provide any real benefit other than esthetics.

I agree. Making power is not an issue with my current setup, the stock block is the limiting factor. I could easily turn the turbo up another 6-8 lbs but it would crater the engine. Unless you have a built block, there’s no reason to go chasing additional ponies other than you just like how it looks.

Yup I agree. But from what I’ve read and correct me if I’m wrong. That this manifold will be beneficial in all aspects of the rev range. I don’t think it will happen and agree 100% on what you’re stating.

Regardless of the outputs, I have seen the Cpt's work and it is very high quality. He brings a reasonably priced functional and ascetically pleasing upgraded to the game. The more choices the better!

You're still running the stock block? Jebus I thought yours was built lol
