Apparently some company makes a cast manifold that bolts up to a GTX3076R, or makes a hotside that bolts up to a stock manifold?

Unfortunately that is only one of the theories of what went wrong. Since I wasn't logging the correct things we really don't know. The only thing I do know is the car leaned out and I have a non working Evo that has been sitting in my garage for the last four months.
I'm getting a solution together to be able to log 'all the things' for this next round...

Logging pressure at the rail, and pressure between the stock tank and the surge tank?

I'm less concerned about smog and more concerned about stealth if I happen to get pulled over and my hood popped. If I still have the car in 2020 years for smog, I'll just throw the stock intake on.
Six years for new cars. I don't have to smog my Evo 10 until 2020.

Things are starting to snowball!
Complete stock cylinder head from a 2010 Evo 10 on the way to my place.
I'm out of the loop on current best intakes. What's the best 3.5" intake for the 10?
I'm assuming I'll need a 3.5" for the GTX3076R.

Why not a 3" with a bigger MAF housing?!

ETS also has a 3.5 in MAF housing upgrade. I love my ETS intake I just have the stock size housing but sounds and performs great!

Okay head will be here tomorrow.
What's going in:
Kelford 214-b
Kelford valve springs
Possibly:
Supertech valve stems in & ex
GSC Viton valve stem seals
What retainers should I be looking at with the kelford springs? OEM? Something else?
I don't plan on revving the engine past 8200 or so.
Anything else I'm not thinking about or missing?

I've previously had issues (not on import stuff) with stainless valves galling in steel guides. So I prefer to just avoid the hassle and just go with new guides if I get new aftermarket valves. Also bronze guides are better at pulling heat out of the oil film that the valve rides on in the guide, and for racing purposes (track day car), that's always a good thing.
GSC Manganese Bronze guides are $92 for the whole set. And it shouldn't add much to your machine shop bill to replace them. GSC valves are also a bit cheaper than supertech I think.

For that cam + springs just use Kelford's recommended keepers.
Have yet to to see any advantage in changing valves unless warranted.
