Was this over an LS6 or LS1 intake?

Definately figured that was the case, but was just doublechecking.. If a person was to order today, do you have any idea what the waiting time is for this manifold?

Thanks,

Nice gains and I am impressed how quick you guys were to get this installed and answer the big question everyone had on how it will preform. Was the 78mm version using a stock ported throttle body?

VERY promising!

If it picks up 13 RWHP on a stock heads mild cam car I bet it'll pick up 16-17 RWHP on a pretty hot heads/cam engine. Maybe 20-22 RWHP on a big CI engine?

How was the testing done? 3-4 pulls and take the highest reading? Drivetrain at operating temp in both cases?

Yes, this was through a stock, ported TB.

The testing consisted of making 4 pulls before and 4 pulls after. The drivetrain was well up to temp, along with the coolant and oil temps. We tried our best to keep everything consistant as possible. (same coolant temps,etc).

BTW, I just took the muffler off and did the shortbelt mod - 400rwhp/391rwtq. I got my goal of 400hp with stock heads. That hooker catback flows very very well!

MTI only picked up 7.4 rwhp on a 427ci engine (519 rwhp baseline). This was with the small throttle body, which I'm guessing is the main restriction on that engine size and power level. See the External Engine forum for details on that.
