better manifold?

[MrMike]

I plan on running to around 8k rpm and i will be supercharging the car eventually with an ESS G3 kit.

If you're planning FI then why spend money on any other power mods? You need to spend that money on supporting mods like injectors, fuel rails, cooling, etc.

Also, you need to know how to wrench and have somewhere this car can safely sit while you work on it if you're going aftermarket FI. Most students don't own homes with garages, and many places of residence frown upon leaving a car apart parked outside for a couple days at a time.

If your parents are in on this, then that's cool. Enjoy their garage space. Mine were generous with theirs until I moved out.

I have a garage and a lift i can use. The supercharger kit comes with fuel injectors and fuel pump/bap. I have the performance pack gt350 radiator. Im getting the upgraded intercooler with the supercharger. Im pretty much done modding my car until the supercharger, the last thing is an intake manifold change. Im being smart with my mods and getting all the required or suggested supporting mods for each change. The supercharger is also a while down the line. My car will still be na for a while longer. probably a little over a year or so, so I would like to get a little more power while still na.

Do you work at Blow By Racing ?

You want a bit more NA power for the short term, correct ?
Let me ask you, have you locked out the rear suspension cradle ? Have you installed differential bushing inserts ?
What about 1.875” long tube headers for the future centri SC’er ?
At this point a ported manifold is like pissing into wind.

Go straight to the Gen4 dual TB manifold and Wengerd it.

Has he got the whole tune working?

OP

If wanting a centri go with a CJ manifold, skip cams. You will be ahead of everyone using a stock intake.

If you can afford cams it will only get faster.

Just save the money and get the blower sooner.

I thought so but I’m not 100%.

I was an employee in the past. I have kooks 1 7/8 in headers. I will look into the other things thank you.

Cams are not needed.
As I’ve posted for years the Gen3 manifold TB aperture is the choke. KellTrac proved it with Draggy, Ford proved it with the GT350 manifold 5.0 Bullitt / Mach1 and Wengerd absolutely proved it with his Gen 4 manifold conversion.
If you’re going to burn up a stack of Benjamin Franklins start considering Wengerd dual TB offering.

I'd rather save a ton and just get a ported GT350 mani than nitpick a tiny bit of top end HP when the cars not a dedicated race car.
