How restrictive is it to run stock manifolds?
How restrictive is it to run stock manifolds? I'm hopefully starting on my front mount next month. I was going to make my own headers but the thought of saving a **** ton of time is intriging. Are the stock f-body manifolds to restrictive? Or should I get a pair of shorty headers? I'm not doing truck mani b/c I will have A/C.
We have seen good success with stock ported and coated manifolds.. They have less surface area than headers, so heat is dissapated less, which is what you want in a turbo setup. Would they do well on a 800+ hp car, I dont think so, but for a street car they will do just fine

if thats what you want. In reality what youre planning on doing may not work out too well with the routing of Downpipes and such, while still having ground clearance, and still making power.
not necessarily..i was gonna run twins off of stock manifolds with a small flange adapter, basically imitating the incons, but i didnt want to deal with scavenge pumps and such..so i just ran truck shorties, a huge single, and a 4 inch Dp over a stock k member. No AC though.

I believe you could run a flipped truck manifold on the driver's side facing forward and run another pipe from the passenger manifold around the back of the pan merging into the driver's side hot pipe in a "Y"......TTi street kit style. You can keep A/C that way.
Similiar To A Pts Kit.was Going That Route By Then I Went Another.i Ported My 2002 Fbody Manifold To The Same Size As A Truck But U Can Always Buy Shortys Like Mac Edelbrock Exc And Only Use One
