Default ? about truck manifolds

how much power (if any) would i be leaving on the table if i went with truck manifolds vs headers?

im looking to build my 00 TA into a street/strip car and will be deleting the ac, egr, abs so there will be plenty of room under the hood for custom made headers but i would like to spare myself the expense headache and time and go with reversed truck manifolds as long as they arnt a big restriction.

my goal for this car is to be streetable and knock down low 10's at the track.

I dont see any power loss.Ive always heard there actually better because they hold heat in.I love my truck manifold kit.There are also a few cars in the 8s with truck manifold kits.

I think they are good for 1000 hp. Anyone feel free to correct me though.

We've made nearly 1600 crank hp on the dyno and probably more than that with them in the car, i'd say they're probably good enough for 10's but i'm no expert..

If I remember correctly

Stenod performance used tubular manifolds and cast OEM ones with the same turbos and were able to run the same times. I believe this was Y2khawks car and the White formula.

Search and you should find info.
