I've got one on a blow through 2180. It works, but is NOT self tuning in my opinion... I've had to learn/tune a lot. That said, I'm really impressed with the tuning software and the configuration options.

I am in AZ with a hairdryer blowing into it, so I can overcome the effects of no manifold heat after a warm up. If you can add/keep manifold heat, I'd highly recommend doing that.

I do believe that the stock end castings and a centre section will only support about 100hp with rpm limitations to about 5k no matter what engine ?

Yes then take into account the high intake temps and the restriction in the exhaust at 1 bar of boost . It's not very efficient way to feed a 2180cc motor

How effective is my 2180cc, runs 11's on pump gas, and nets 28 MPG
oh/oops ,, it has a carb

I've done plenty of dyno testing on the stock manifold with stock end castings and also single IDF centre section and a custom 1 5/8 centre section with CB ends. I have also tested other manifolds ITB etc so have comparative results which are very clear

The stock end castings have limitations, changing the centre section doesn't make much difference.

The new aftermarket PICT manifolds are not great and getting the heat risers to work properly is a job and limits the exhaust choice.

For turbo stuff a single injector would have to be too large and would cause issues with idle and tuning low speed so you'd have to go 4 injector CB ends/rails which is $230 plus centre section $90 plus whatever throttle $???
Nah just put something better on

These were stock,,,

Nice weld up job
If you were close to me I'd have you welding injector bosses into stock end castings. I got about 30 pairs

[madmike]

I don't weld ,, but my best man's son is a world class welder If I can get him to do so , he's 250 miles south of here

I just found that a regular garage a mile from has an aluminum and stainless welder. His street barracuda went into the 4.90’s in the 1/8th.

I was just sharing. I hope to take advantage of his skills in the near future.
