Ok so I've been doing a lot of searching about these manifolds. I found a lot on the buschur but nothing on the skunk 2 and weapon r. My question is are they good quality and will they perform. My goal is just to have a monster daily driver and a weekend track machine. I'm at 450awhp 435tq on a fp red ported stock manifold on e85 @ 31psi. I'm want to be at 550awhp before I rebuild to a stroker. So I need you guys opinion on which intake manifold will suit me.

 

Out of the ones youve posted I would have to say Buschur, cant go wrong with proven results.

 

Yeah that what tobz keeps telling me which ill probably end up going with the buschur ported mani and ported 65mm throttle body but I was seeing if anyone else had any results with the others I listed

 

Search, a few vendors tested the Skunk2 and ended up having to make some modifications to it to even make it worth while for the price.

 

Aby@ MilSpec ran the WeaponR for awhile and tested it, but I wouldnt spend money on it. He ran it at the time b/c I believe there werent as many options out there.

 

The best sub 600 whp still seems to be the ported stocker - Buschur or MAP. Honestly though, it sounds like something else is holding you back (unless your hp numbers are on a heart breaker dyno). Since you have an 8, which cams are you running ? What is your complete list of mods ? (Cams, exhaust manifold, FMIC, o2 housing, and TBE are the most important.)

With e85, you should be able to run more like 35 psi on the Red and be close to 550 whp if your setup is right. My guess is you could add 50+ whp by increasing the boost 5 psi and refining the tune.

 

My local performance shop down the street from my neighborhood is a Buschur sponsor and the owner (friend of mine's) use's A LOT if not ALL AFTERMARKET PART'S FROM BUSCHUR and he run's high 9;s in his EVO 9

Which I believe is the FASTEST EVO in Texas AND IT'S A DAILY DRIVER

My friend Jorge is the one driving and tuning the car (before hitting the track)
Just member that this was his 1st time @ the track with his new suspension and that is why he fished tailed a little bit but caught himself going into 2nd gear with all that torque.

 

Im sure you have heard it but you will be playing with fire with HP and TQ that high. But me i was running a stock IM the whole time. No need to have a IM till you get near 500+hp. but to each their own

 

He's Evo is far from stock lol including aftermarket IM and of course he's running on E85.
He's hit 8.9 before we just didn't get it on camera

 

Hks 264 cams, ported stock ex. Mani, ams fmic with stock piping, megan ported o2 housing, forgot which exhaust I'm running, ferra valves, hks cam gears. That's what I got for mods on the engine

 

Anyone else
