Custom FFI update w/ pictures!

[jt2ma71]

Seth, the accepted standard for flow testing is 28" h2O. That's how mine are tested. I think, any flow numbers made other than that is just pointless. Like somebody said before, "I can make my manifolds flow any numbers I want". I posted my flow numbers for stock, long runner and short runner many times before, maybe 5 to 10 times in the last 2 years?? I remember reading somebody's post where the stock flowed far more different than my results, I don't remember how it was tested though. Ron

Ditto to Adjuster's post I'd be very interested in some data!

I'll have dyno figures for both but they won't be a direct comparison as I'm using the long runner manifold on my base motor that is just a stock rebuild and the short runner one will be on a fully built new motor (cams headwork big valves forged pistons and rods and so on)

Once I get maximum hp on my long runner setup, a/fs right on and what not (i'm taking my time), I will switch to a short runner style and will have dyno comparisons then, I know I've said that many times. But I'm just too busy making manifolds and such for others

Thanks Ron!
(I know exactly how time gets away sometimes I've been promising my customers I'd design/make and release a product for 3 years now! )

Ron,
Thank you for the information I greatly appreciate it. I flowed my first couple at 25" h2O, not mercury my bad. So I will have him bump it up to flow this manifold and see how it goes. But thank you again for sharing all of your information.

I will have pics of it installed later tonight!! :biglaugh:

Pictures of it installed!!! Sorry for the delay but between a new job and my racing program I have been laying low on the forums with very little time. But here are some pictures I took of the FFI installed. Been running it for about a week and a half and works great! Hope you enjoy!

how's it perform?!

I have not actually dyno tested it so I do not know an exact gain yet. Ron's have been tested before and have shown good gains so this should have similar gains.

damn that looks really good

im talking about your Ass Dyno

Haha, well it is definitly a mod for those who like top end. I improved high end reving fairly dramatically. But when you are talking about 20hp added to 400hp it is fairly hard to feel a difference cause it is crazy fast anyways..lol :evil2:

Thanks,
Seth Ingham

That came out really well Seth!

Thanks for all of the ideas between you and Ron my next manifold is planned now!

I'm in the market for an FFI, good info

Does getting rid of the top runner end in better performance?

I know long runners is for low down torque and short runners for top end horsepower.

Cheers,
Roy

The "veilside" design is made for top end performance ( saying that top rpm peroformance that is...not mph LOL)...

the design is made so that the air that is forced into the intake chamber via the turbocharger actually SPEEDS UP because the angle the rear of the manifold takes......

its kind of like a jet engine effect....the air just rams itself in the chambers rather than the long runner "torque" style.....

with either design, tube or veilside, you get added performance....but when it comes to style ( for me, though yes I believe in form follows function) the Veilside short runner design takes the cake and looks GREAT when polished.
