I love it!

I'm not sure if it makes any more power. It may even make less. I loaned it to Phil Neall to try out and he had it dynoed on his motor and it made dissapointing numbers. It made less than his LS6 manifold but that may have been down to tuning or perhaps the cam characteristics of his motor.

It makes more than enough power for me. I was regularly hitting 7K RPM at Winton on the weekend so it doesn't seem to hurt the motors ability to rev.

Unfortunately I haven't really done any back to back driving with this and the stock manifold. It'll be interesting to see what sort of numbers it makes on the dyno when I get the new cam in.

Regardless I'd almost be happy to sacrafice a few HP just for looks of the thing.

Cheers
