If you decide to go with a tubular stock frame manifold instead of porting & coating your stocker, let us know!!

As of right now I have a Megan Racing Cat Back Exhaust, Injen intake with upper and lower intercooler piping. Im gonna finish off the exhaust with a down pipe, o2 housing, and test pipe. I already know which brand of parts I am gonna get from them. But the manifold is just the hard part to come to a decision but I am leaning towards porting out my stock and getting a nice polished heat shield.

 

Well for that you have many different options my friend. You can always sand or bead blast it your self and then get some high temp ceramic. Or you can send it to Buschur, as they do USPS. They were go to for my first ported EM and IM when I was residing in APO land.

 

I would take that money and get a good Set of cams IMHO being an 8. If 370 is your goal like you said. You would get far more bang for the buck when you tune it versus an exhaust mani. Again it's all personal preference and the stock Mani does look horrid. But if 370 is a realistic goal of yours I would do cams and e85 if that's an option and you're there. If pump gas if the route you're going then you will still most likely need cams to hit 370 I would think. Not saying its impossible just make it alot easier to do so.

However is you're determined to get one lol I would port the stock one for sure.

Also I would look into at least a 9 bov or an aftermarket one because the 8 bov sucks and you're goal is gonna require high boost for a stock turbo (25+) just trying to save some questions and help with the set up.
