when drax had it on i believe he got like 240hp or in that range, but was having a lot of problems with stalling and the fuel setup from what i remember. Then he took it too ptuning and they took the manifold off and redid some stuff and retuned and that put him close to 300 whp. So I dont knot if the manifold was causing any of his issues or not, it possibly could have been the tune from the first place he went too.

I am really hoping this part is as good as it says it is. I mean crap I would spend $700+install for the extra 40 whp at 8 psi.
You would think so.

But for 700 bucks, I need to see some dyno's and given proof on this.

Lol I was offered 100off if I did an before and after dyno lol. That defeats the purpose of me getting it With a discount. Lol down here heapest dyno is 75 bucks so that means I have to pay 150 for a before and after dyno. Lol there goes that 100off. And damn if I did make good power Out of it, I just made alot of money to descendent lol. I'm str8. I will wait and pay regular price and keep my dyno money. I'm not gonna make anyone money unless getting somethin in return.

nope sorry but.. his stalling was actually in the manifold not the fuel system.. not saying the manifold was bad just wasnt for him...and his setup


he made like 272 on 10.5 psi with the manifold ptuning put a stock manifold and gave it a go and car i believe made made same power on just the baseline pull LOL

hes now on stock manifold and 14psi pushing 308 hp

I've tuned one car that had that manifold and it was a nightmare taking off from a dead stop. To be fair though this car was heavily modded but at the same time the car ran perfect with the exception of that, could have been the manifold could not. I would like to see descendant do a dyno comparison or someone un biased.

Lol. I see this as if your running alot of boost an blew up your plastic intake man. Well then you have no choice to get this unless you lower the boost and get another plastic one. I think this mani is more durable an stronger over stock. But as far as power that's up in the air.

From what I understand the stock IM has seen up to 700 whp.

I'll take my chances with the stock one until I see something alittle more concrete.

Brett from West Palm had a built motor and turbo and his stock IM blew. I think he went out one day and went to start it and boom. If I remember correctly he never even got the key past start.
