Yeah, and the best part is it works just like $11.00/gallon VP MS109!

Yeah, but you'll get about 5-6 mpg less I would imagine that in the OP's case it is more like 10-11 mpg's less
but it is worth it for the power

True, the way I drive (rev-limiter) mosts shifts 1st-3rd around town, I get about 7MPG...but it takes a lot of fuel, no matter what you are using to make 500+AWHP. I took the car on a business trip on Monday to Charlotte, NC and managed 14-15MPG and that included several highway challenges and 85-90MPH cruise. Any way you slice it, it's a helluva lot cheaper than race juice.

One thing I forgot to add is that there is NO compressor surge with this set up. The 50 Trim I was running would surge under load at low RPM in 5th gear under full throttle (psst, psst, psst) kinda like the blowoff valve releasing too early. The new HTA35R is not surging at all...it is buttery smooth even at low RPM / high load conditions.

There is only one coating available for manifolds, and it's their White Lightning coating. Can't go wrong with it.

Yes, the white lightning coating works well, I used it on my GT2 but it started growing funky looking ceramic hair after a while...is that normal?
