Mike had us pick his car up in Florida and bring it back for a build over the winter. It is a very clean 9 GSR that just needed some more beef to make the FP Red work the way he wanted. This is a twin scroll housing car rather than the new style single scroll. The results speak for themselves.
We are going to pull the Skunk2 now that the Magnus V5 has arrived and get as close to a back to back as we can. Nothing else is changing in the motor or combo at this time so it should be a pretty good comparison.
Really interested to see the Magnus V5 vs. the Skunk 2 back-to-back. That will give people a good idea what the stock(ish) manifolds do.
Does this have an 02 dump or just a 3" TBE?
Also, HTA Red or HTZ?
I'm also looking forward to the Magnus V5 vs Skunk2. I think the Magnus V5 will beat the Skunk2, but would like to see a nice single variable comparison, especially on a build that's making close to my power level.

+1 on the questions.
From all the testing I have done the Skunk only makes a power difference above 6000 and has a habit of killing spool below that. I have a car that lost 100 ft lbs at 5500 from stock to the ported Skunk. I imagine that when it goes back together on the Magnus it wont have that issue.
