It'* possible the 'feedback' had the desired effect.
Much better. Nearly as much angle as the S1 manifolds.

IIRC, didn't willwren say that the addition of the powerlog caused the front bank to run lean or something like that? Has that be resolved yet? I didn't see anything on that website about that issue.

From what I have read If you get a power log you should skew the fuel 1-2% over to the front since there is a imbalance. some have not needed it others have.

Yeah pretty much. You'll get a noticeable gain from it but you can take it ever further by adjusting the fueling for the front bank.

Thats just if u run a powerlog in the front though i assuming?
The rear ported should keep up as it is already a tube style correct?

In my experience with ported manis.. There is some cleanup that happens in the rear mani..but it'* very little.

I can't see the rear or crossover actually gaining much flow from the porting.

No that is still with the ported rear maniolfd. If t was unported it would be even worse.

That is much nicer!

This makes me wonder if it'* possible or sensible to attempt a rear powerlog style product to balance the flow better front-to-rear.

The pricing is certainly attractive when compared to headers.
