Removing LN3 exhaust manifold restriction=less KR?
You LN3 guys know that there'* a restriction of sorts in the rear of the LN3 exhaust manifold/header, past the oxygen sensor. Its something like a 20% reduction in the size of the exhaust. I have a couple degrees of knock retard...would removing this restriction with a die grinder or hole saw help at all?

Moved out of 87-91 because you don't have anything that will even remotely compare to an LN3 in the Mechanical sections, and your KR is a direct result of the top swap.

followed your monster creation a while back great work on that. I also have a LN3, there is deffinate restrictions in the manifolds(I had seen a set laying around at a friends one time), and with your setup you could deffinately use that extra flow. I will be taking mine off, and porting them. Also I am going to get them ceramic coated so they no longer look like garbage and produce less heat. I don't know if it will fix your problem but with what your running it would deffinately help. just my 2 cents anyways good luck!

Opening it up sure isn't going to hurt anything as long as it'* structurally ok.
Since no one else here has a ser1 L67 top swap on an LN3, no one can really say for sure if it will get rid of your KR.
It will probably help but who knows?

I know I can be difficult, having the only known sueprcharged LN3, but typically, do better flowing exhaust manifolds reduce KR?
