Not really, just stay a little under and you'll be fine. I'm going to try and keep my tune a little conservative, around maybe 230-240 until I get a little more built. This is, after all, my daily driver. Might want to upgrade to a 2.4 manifold, that's about it.

Only get an aluminum one if you're serious about building the engine later.

They're definitely nice, but if you're not going to push 15+ psi then you'd be better off with a 2.4 manifold.

hey the the manifolds we got are pure sex if your a show kinda person, its the way to go :p even if your on a stock engine, but all in all it depends on what your goals and how you want it to look, if you wanna look like the rest go for the 2.4manifoldf, if you wanna look unique and like u mean bsiness go with the vulcan aluminum right
