With a 4150 carb no less (not even a dominator)

Blowthru has been in the 6's in the 1/4.

I've heard that the miniram and similar manifolds have poor distribution at higher boost levels (rich on the front cylinders and lean on the rear).

Another option:
How about a single plane manifold with efi and either a 4 barrel TB with a carb hat, or an elbow and a big single blade TB?
