Don't feel pregnant; I bought a $400.00 Hurricane intake manifold (long-runner) and Freddie built the header to fit it.
Then, I find out from a turbo-guru that forced induction and long runners don't play well together... so I bought a $200.00, used Offenhauser short-runner manifold. Wouldn't work with the header. Then I bought a (another $200.00) Clifford short-runner manifold; same deal... wouldn't fit, big time.
So, I started hammering on the header and grinding on the Clifford manifold. Hammered 'til I was afraid I was restricting flow and ground thru the manifold all the way to the other side...
Still won't fit.
So I am struck with this long-runner manifold that the turbo guru says will cause me to add 10 pounds of boost and will see no gain...
No matter; it's on there. :prayer:
Hey, we've ALL got our problems...
