Needs to be like for like compared against the Z1 manifold if you want any results you collect to be meaningful.

Z1, whether you choose to believe them or not, has provided such results with their marketing information. You would need to do the same if you want to present the product as superior. Otherwise you're going down the Akuma Motorsports Intake vs Stillen road.

Also, you, or the guy actually going to be making and selling these things, will need to get a vendor account on this site or the site operator will be highly displeased with you.

Good luck! Definitely watching and waiting for results!

Would z1's really matter? If I dyno again as is and put down 295/246 that I do, add our mani and it puts down say 10hp increase in the mid range where it counts and maybe a few up top so the peaks read 299/250, does another manifold need to be even mentioned if our mani shows goods gains and is half the cost or even less with better porting done?

The vender thing I'll have to talk with the owner on. I might just say, here's their website. Call or go there or mail your stuff in to get done. Wouldn't be any different than saying Discount Tire did a great alignment for me, go see them.

Only matters if you say "It is better than Z1's manifold" which you suggested it might be in a previous post, that's all.

Gotcha. Well all i want to say is their porting is rough because they said really smoothing it did nothing power wise but cost went up. I think we can port smooth so it looks quality and price is lower. Power wise I bet they are even. I mean let's be real, we are only removing a mm or two from the part. One company can't out do another on that point.

There may be a knowledge issue, but that can be gotten around with enough trial and error.

I suspect that Z1 probably ruined a fair number of these plenums before they found the results they wanted. Your guy gets one shot at it, if it works it works, if not it doesn't.

Like I said, I hope it works, can't wait to see results.

True. Z1's made mistakes too. They've sent out manis with holes in them filled with resin to patch it up.
