Judge Racing ported intake manifold is my manifold of choice.

I would also run a V5, but I had no loss over a stock manifold on my stock turbo setup. Magnus has revised their design since long ago. I have the V2 of the street SMIM with raised Velocity Stacks. The Street SMIM Magnus sells now is their V3.

has anyone ever used the large plenum di manifold before?
I currently have the DI intake manifold and have no complaints. I did notice cylinder 1 runs the leaner than the rest, but I don't know if that's a big issue or not.. Compression is still good so I'm not that worried. IIRC, STM still uses the DI manifold on their RICER evo.

I have the large plenum and I believe STM runs the large plenum as well.

what mods and do u happen to have a dyno graph? what throttle body? is this on a 2.0 or a stroker? do you think the large plenum is a better match for my built 2.4 than the small plenum version? i'm hoping not to lose too much on the low end.

Small Plenum sounds like it would be your best bet with whatever you go with besides the V5 as you want your low end torque.

yes, but i'm also willing to give up some low for a much better midrange and top end. with a 2.4l, i think i would benefit more from a large plenum. anyone else with a 2.4 and large plenum di manifold out there want to chime in?

With most well made aftermarket SMIM's or Cast intake manifolds you will likely see better mid-top range power regardless of whose you run. Magnus, JMF, AMS, DI, they are all good, but it just depends how much you want to lose. For the money you cant beat Magnus street plenum SMIM, when you are comparing SMIM.

For IM's, I would go with a Reese Tuning stock ported IM. The manifold has made over 700whp on mustang dyno. I had one on my FP Black setup and have another on my HTA 3794 setup.

Aby takes a standard Evo 8/9 ported IM, and adds a little love to it to even out airflow across all 4 cylinders. It even requires welding on extra material to do the port work

Is it sawed in half so as to port the tight radius bend, then rewelded after the radius is ported?
