It be nice to see that test done, on an engine that actually has some overlap, and turns some rpm. I think your product will really shine there, as opposed to a low rpm 500hp minimal overlap cam

For mid to upper rpm power, a 2.206 to 2.331 diameter primary, with 18.8 inch x 4.079 to 4.579 diameter collector.

Thats a mile, wait, 10 miles, away from a typical stainless marine standard manifold. In the car world, if you stuffed a 750hp 572ci big block in your car, and ran a 1 7/8" shorty header, with a 3" inch collector, someone would smack you across the cheek.

I believe MER Performance recently dynoed a 650ish hp 509 build. Made close to 640 with the 2.25 dyno headers. Bolting the stainless marine manfolds on, it made right about 600hp, and lost a bunch of torque as well. About 30ft lbs I think at peak tq .
Collector length means a ton ! Max hp doesn;t really change, but if you would see the torque and hp difference's from mid to upper mid rpm you may schit yourself - especially between worst lengths and best lengths.

Just keep your Gil's... Might just keep you from getting t-boned. Remember house sold. GC next. Don't fk with me. Lol. Just kidding. I think those exhaust are awesome not only power but looks. See them in person and they grow on you real quick. They look even better in a twin app. Did you ck measurements yet. Warm this weekend.

I'm coming up this weekend. I need to pull my drives and if possible, pull the other 3 Gil manifolds.
