Maybe that's why you have so many professionals gunning at you. I don't know why you keep putting yourself in the same awkward position by going out on limbs, telling people they can expect big gains here and big gains there. It might work on gullible newbies who are starving for attention and excitement, but seasoned pros don't fall for the hype, and it can look extremely foolish. Based on 15+ years of fabrication experience, I think it's possible for a person to see gains like that, but I don't have the recklessness to go leading people to expect gains like that unless they were already making 500-550hp with a log manifold. Maybe less, but I wouldn't go telling people to expect it.
Not slinging anything, the manifold has already shown gains of 20 WHP up top. A smoother flowing elbow out of the turbo has already shown gains of 15 WHP (another member on here did that work for me already). I am not telling anyone to "expect" anything. It will come down to the tune and over all health of the motor that will deppend on the additional gains you get out of this system. I mean hell I can say that we got 100 additional WHP with this set up but we installed a built motor during the swap, would that be fair? No it wouldn't so I am not going to say it. People want results and I am hear building the part that they are asking for, I will get the results when we have the time to. I will stand by my gains in my first post, till proven other wise hype or not.
