Not sure if I'm reading that dyno correctly or not, but the TQ sure does seem to drop off badly on whatever engine they dyno'd....with our V6 the TQ stays pretty consistent.

Hard for me to believe that just isolating the manifold from the rest of the engine can provide such good low end gains....but I guess its possible?? (I have no idea lol)

Maybe at lower rpms the air isn't rushing through as quickly and ultimately heats up much easier than at higher rpms, and this just allows that air to stay cooler even at lower rpms. Am I seeing this correctly? lol

So if somewhere were to add a ported manifold, would this also have to be altered?
