The length of the runners of this manifold appear to be too short. That much I can tell from the photo.

I bought one for my stroker project and wish I hadn't!! Had to spend quite a bit of time port matching. Overall build quality is s#$t as well. I havn't fitted it yet and might sell it.

just to let you know. you need to:
change uicp cause the inatke is lower there for small battery or trunk kit!!
change one of the heater hoses
extend the vac line to the brake pump
extend the vac line from the tank

it mached my head gasket!! so no porting!!

so is a lot of time and head involved on it..
SO DID I LOST MY TIME???

i think they may have revised the design recently as the runners in that pic appear to be nearly double the length of a KU manifold i held in my own hands. Maybe its just the pic..

You may be right. Confusing, innit?

Anyway, the log posted on Lancerregister shows a power decrease until 6500rpm. If 'Ku' just brushed up his dimensions somewhat, he may have something.
