Id use the non egr truck manifolds, they are compact and cheap. instead of facing them up like i did, I would face them down and forward

I was running .024 on lower boost, but tightened them up to .018 on higher boost levels due to breaking up at the track. I run ngk #9s, i know super cold but hey it works for me
