I've found this myself.


If the manifold is at its limit power wise, most anything won't help it.

A bunch of circle track guys were doing it back in the mid 90's. Never found anything on the dyno or track with those particular manifolds, which were some GM junk.

iagree That's the same I've seen. I used to build some roundy round engines for a few locals and they've tried some things w/ exhaust manifolds...none of them proved to be worth it.
Got to where all I'd do was gasket match the manifold to the head and then open it up at the collector flange.
