excuse the topic, building a new manifold but haveing trouble decide what type of manifold and pipe diamater to use.
first there are a few trail of thoughts i would like to get some input on,,
some people have the opinion that spool is everything so stock log would would be best. then some say that a properly designed tubular manifold can spool just as fast and give make more power than a POS Stock log manifold.
Now choseing pipe diamater:
corky bell saying when building a turbo manifold always use the same size pipeing as the ports NEVER bigger.(is he saying this caused its forced inductiion and regardless of the pipe size the turbo is gunna push the air to what ever velocity /flow i want regardsless if it damages thge motor) but then ther are some folk that say whenbuilding a high HP or boost car the piping must always be bigger than that of the ports.
now building these two manifolds will yeild a much differen ride, which one will be suited best for straight line race, i just wanna get the car over the quatermile as fast as possible.
