This is true...both great looking pieces...both are known to make great products...Mike @ AWD tested the Shearer and gained 21whp on an FP Red....which BBK do you have, lite or full??
No his post was 100% Incorrect all around. First off mike didnt gain 21 WHP on an FP Red, it was an FP Green (Reds will gain more power). Also It wasn't 21 whp over a stocker. It was 21 WHP over a BUSCHUR PORTED STOCK. Which is already a 10~ Whp gain. So expect Shearer to yield 31+ On an FP Green or Red over a completely stock manifold.
I've been tracking this thread from the beginning and what I'd like to see is a back-to-back-to-back comparison of an FP Red testing a BR ported, ProStock, and Shearer manifold respectively while attempting to keep all factors as close as possible. The BR ported costs roughly $275 (+10whp over stock). The ProStock costs roughly $980 (+20whp over stock). The Shearer costs roughly $xxx (+30whp over stock). I'm not sure how much the Shearer costs and I'd be interested in examining the torque increases over stock for each of these three as well.
actually i be leave the full-race mani made 12hp over a stock evo 8 turbo with a little more trq.
also note that was the only style mani. about a year after they made one they came out with a better more updated one.
as for the price last time i looked this was not a geo metro type forum. nothing can compare to fullrace in quality of there manifolds. not buschur, shearer, ams, jmf no one can make a mani like full race can. you get what you pay for. and the full race mani has proven to be the best. you also get a life time warinte. imo yes the price is worth it over a ported mani or any cheeper mani on the market.

Here's the info JMFabrication puts on their site about their mani...

Looks good, almost the one i'd want people when i take out that grill from the hood and that Thing just sticks out... But then again, its really not about looks.
