General TechHave a question that is not covered by one of the other categories? This is the forum for all other items not specifically covered in other categories.
Is there any DYNO proven advantage from changing from the droopy ea/ed manifold to the ef manifold. Ive heard the ef ones are better for low end, but the Ea-EB ones are heaps better for top end pull.
I can get these manifolds easy as ,just woundering weather it would be woth the effort to change.
if running a cammed up motor wouldnt the EF/L manifold make more sense to get back some of the low end that you lose with the cam?

when building motors, i figure u carnt have it all.
With The 250 crossflow i built i used an ed manifold, cut down to shorten the runners, and welded to an xf injection manifold. With wild cam, over 260 @0.050 and 560 lift, low in the rev range it made nothing , but at 5500 made 300 hp (220 kw and at 430 nm at 3900. If i used a longer runner manifold, i wouldnt of gained that much power down low, and it would of killed the engines top end pull.
I figure u design cam/manifold/head to all work at the same rpm range, that way when u hit that range all hell breaks loose
