I'll post the dyno sheet as soon as Mike W sends it to me.
I didn't even ask about the Torque, I was to excited about the horsepower.

There is a lot more left in these engines....
Ported Throttle Body, Intake Manifold, Ported Head, Tubular Exhaust Manifold, More aggressive cams. bigger lower intercooler pipe, cold air intake. ect.

I think the exhaust manifold would not hurt the performance... but you gotta axe yourself.... would it be beneficial as far as cost vs performance. you know?
Those things are PRICEY. do they perform? maybe a little.. but it would not be one of the "best bang for your buck" type of mod. Plus on top of all that, with a tubular manifold, make sure it has a heat shield that comes with it, and even then, make sure the manifold is coated. Things get REALLY REALLY hot where the firewall is... so keeping things as cool as possible is key.

How much difference does the porting make on the FP Red and is it worth it?
