who here races with exhaust manifolds?
 

Hi - My 69 Chevelle has manifolds and was thinking of getting her to the track BUT.... was interested to see what folks are running ET / MPH wise with stock or ported exhaust manifolds... anyone?

On a side note, my car looks like a stock 396/350 hp car but dyno'd 450hp/530 tq with cast iron GM intake & a Qjet (albeit with dyno headers)...

All the Pure Stock racer run them.... http://www.purestockdrags.com/

Yeah I know but asked for some advice over there but didn't get any sort of response....

That said, I only want to run low, low 12s... If I could do that with unported manifolds it'd be a bonus.

*Spoke to Greg Gessler and he has zero room to accomodate any further manifolds for porting due to time....

i watched a stock ZL1 on the dyno it made 430 hp with manifolds we tried headers and it was a hole differant animal on the first pull it made 518 hp.i had my manifolds for my car ported by the vorteck pro.

Thats a real good mph for manifolds..... Are they untouched or extrude honed or ported?

Untouched, other than a shot of &quot;Cast Blast&quot; spray paint...

Hi fellow Canadian.

Plan to attend PSMCDR in September everyone I have met there has been great, I bet they would share lots of information to help.

If you need directions follow me, I will be attending as a spectator again this year.
