I know the stock intake does not and there are some companies that cut it open trying to get the cfm more equal through each runner and weld it back up. Even after all of this work, the cfm is still not equal. I am debating whether I should save a few bucks on a modified stock manifold or get the F1. I guess if the runners flow equal cfm then it's probably worth it?
BUMP for an answer......

Hey Eric, great results on the F1, I have the Magnus on the car now, but thinking about picking up the F1 and seeing how it compares... Wondering how it sits in relation to the Magnus? The Magnus was positioned much lower that the stocker and we had to create a new UICP...?

This is a good question. But honestly you shouldn't worry about it. If it makes enough power to justify the cost to you, buy it. If not, don't. Too many times I see people buy stuff because it "should work". Don't worry about the science behind it. Worry about if it makes more power, and if the extra power it makes justifies the price.

Can you tell me who performed this test on the stock manifold and how was this test conducted? Where the runners tested one at a time? All four runners at once? In what manner was the CFM measured..on an engine dyno or on a flow bench?

Thank you! Our manifold compared to the stock unit does indeed lower the plenum like our VSR did so a new/modified UICP would be needed.

Send Sean that DI manifold if he is willing to test it. We ain't skuurred lol

Eric

Its not about being scared haha

have you guys put these manifolds on a flow bench with a head? Curious how much they knock the head down, or stay the same? Stock ported and otherwise

No sales pitch. It does everything we advertise just like every other product we make and sell. I was insinuating that the fact we are not testing further simply because we find it redundant but we welcome anyone else to do so. We just want to make sure its in the hands of someone that knows how to properly conduct the test.
