so i gotta a big weekend this coming weekend.... i just got all my flanges from the machine shop.... and all the needed mandrel bent tubes to make my manifold......i came up with a tunable design.... so i got a wideband a/f ratio gauge and large amount of time for tuning.....

What are you going to be running for engine management?  And is this an intake or exhaust manifold?

can you finish one project at a tim3e?!?!

umm intake manifold.... but i need the a/f meter so i know when i have hit stoich.....  then im tuned.....and i have a million prjects going on right now and they are in progress so.... technically no...!

Just remember what I said in the previous thread...even if you have a perfectly tuned intake manifold, it will only work for a narrow band of RPM's.  It actually reduces power (because it suffocates the engine) when you aren't in that RPM band.  Should be fun tuning it.  I definately want to see it when you have it on your car.

yeah i know and remember wat you said.... and tuning will be a pain in the you know where....(*&*...... and i am going for a lower rpm band cause the direct port nitrous will take care of the second half of the gears!
