need help with intake manifold

hey guys ive been searching for the last week now, im really getting tired of this. i have an FP Red and i wanted some opinions on what intake manifold to run. thats it....im about to spend a fortune on an exhaust manifold and dont wanna skip out on the intake side. my options are stickin with the stock one ported by MAP or a Magnus. i know i seen just about everyones opinions on Magnus and ive also read just about every dyno sheet when compairing them too and i do see gains. but is it even worth spending $1000 on a Magnus manifold or port the stock one and a BR throttle body?

thanks guys

Stick with a stock ported exhaust manifold for quick spoolup and put that $ towards a Magnus V5.

The Driven Innovations and AMS intake manifolds are the hot ticket.

MAP rev3 best ported stocker hands down.

With a red a magnus isnt needed. Ported stock manis are good to 600-700whp.

I don't have exact numbers, but it was about a 15-20whp gain from stock manifold to rev3 MAPerformance manifold.

thats exactly what i was thinkin but then again the rev2 is only $250 and the rev3 is $650. is it worth spending $650? i can find a Magnus for sale on this site for cheaper than that!

?? The Magnus gains 20+ on a stock turbo and even more on a Red.

The MAP ported stocker will definately have gains throughout the range, but it's not going to make the same peak whp as the V5. Look at Scheides dyno graphs on it, theres not much going on in the top end.
