Me too! Always good working with you. I may have to hook up with you in January to do a comparison to the stock manifold on your dyno.

There are a couple cars making 700+hp with the small runners. The gains in midrange power are quite noticeable as well. After that they start to become a choke.

I am glad to know MRc products are getting the attention needed. I personaly choose this manifold for the simple fact it had 304SS Falnages as well as it having a lifetime warrenty for the Original Owner. I will be tuning shortly with my Ported 84mm Red running the FID manifold with mods listed below. The First tune will be with 93 Oct and if things go right I will return in the fall/summer and have a Dual Map for E85 as well.

What turbo if anything under a FP black go with the FiD also do you want a rusty looking manifold after a rainy day, not bashing toxic fab his Mani is real good as well. Also the FiD is a 1.25 runner sand is good to like 600whp and toxic is 1.50 I think and more for a higher hp car.
go ask full-race what flanges they use and why? all the runners are stainless. its not like the runners are going to rust. also i'm in texas and have not had any rusty head flange problems on any of my customers cars. over the 30+ stock replacement manifolds ive built and sold myself there are zero complaints.
another thing, ive done tons and tons of research on peoples welding techinques and am pretty familar with who welds what kinda thing.
in my opinion FID is not the ones welding their manifolds... so when i say my manifold comes with a life time warranty i back it to the fullest because im the guy building and welding these manifolds.

No FiD just R&D the manifolds and once built and the test are done they get produced in mass else where in the USA. I was not knocking your Manifold collin but your in texas anyone with salt and snow will see rust on a mild steel flanges I don't know if you use mild Steele but the main focus I was in the smaller runner will help with a lower hp car and someone wanting to break big would be better with yours.
If FiD would not have been out yours was on my list and next was the Mona Lisa your work is still A+..

It's not secret I use bmc race for my flanges. Sam (owner) and I are friends. I send him custom designs all the time for him to machine it. Great flanges...
