Jay thanks for the great info. I totally agree that you did the most scientific analysis possible by just changing the one variable. Trying to optimize each compination would have ruined the credibility of the test. Anyone using any manifold (or other parts) on their engine would be wise to use a chassis or engine dyno to tune that combination of course.
It is obvious we all have much to learn. Thanks for your hard work and patience.
