Why would you not? It isn't going to help you outrun any competitor you have as any of your ODR cometitors already know what they are working with.
I really could give a rat's *** personally, but i would like to know this:
Did you learn some things adding the EGT that you weren't already seeing just by reading the plugs and the data logs? I've been pushed to get an EGT kit as well, but don't know if the cost is worth the added knowledge over and above properly reading plugs.

reading plugs is very misleading on turbo cars due to the higher fuel content we run, plus I don't want to click it off at the stripe due to the temps in the turbo...need additional oil flow to cool it. Nothing in the data logs would show what we saw.

Are you still reverse entry with a wilson elbow? I assume your engine dyno testing and getting these results? I would love to see what you and Phil are up to in regards to airflow movement correction. wings, dividers, port work... I can only imagine.
My big question: seeing the results, is it worth it to you to order a Marcella, or are you going to try and make the manifold/elbow setup work. Have you tested a 4500 plate TB with a Extreme Velocity blow through hat yet? I really want to try that out with a ported SrVic ....

box-stock super vic + 2" spacer + sideways facing 4150 cast elbow. (intake is only port matched, no special divider work yet)
no engine dyno time. This was track data.
My budget can't support a marcella intake![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
shawn and I discussed what we think is happening, and I don't think a different TB setup with a hat would change it...

These are beautiful all out drag race only intakes. Very large open plenums with larger throttle body openings to support big inch stroker motors. And short straight intake runners for a tunnel ram style high rpm intake coming on hard above 6000 RPM. Of course they sacrifice a lot at low and mid range rpm torque like what would be needed for a street machine or street/strip ride. An LS6 style intake with long folded over intake runners and sub 364 cubic inch plenum capacity, and a smaller throttle body opening is perfectly designed for a street machine and fast street/strip car to about high 8 seconds. But for a all out drag racer large cubic inch stroker motor with 7 sec and 6 sec times these intakes a perfectly designed tunnel ram style high rpm big power fuel injection intakes. Got to match your combo with the intake fitting your motors desired RPM power band, drive train and performance goals gents.
