Default ramhorn vs something else

hello. i wonder what kind of manifold i should get. now i am running a ebay manifold, sofar there is no craks but it fells like it wont last forever.

my setup is b16a1 t04e/t3 57 trim itr cams, cp pistons and eagle rods and some other stuff

now i am boosting 15 psi

now to the question.
what should i buy? a ramhorn feels a little overkill for my setup. im just going to make a littel under 400bhp and it is not cheap. is it worth the $$$ or should i go with a miniramhorn, logmani.
how god are the blox manifold vs the peakboost log manifold, i think they have a log.
do i gain mouch spool with a log vs a ramhorn?

please help a little swede

You could get like an inline pro cast mani. People seem to make good power with them and they're decently priced and seem to hold up well. If you don't wanna spend a whole lot of money on a ram horn you could get a mini ram and still make power. It all depends on your goals and your current setup.

Yeah inline I guess isn't too cheap but compared to like a peakboost EL manifold ($800) I think that $400 is pretty reasonable due to the amount of power being made on them. I would never buy a cast manifold but if you're on a budget and want to make decent power inline would be a good choice.

To the OP check out ebay if you're on a budget. You can find decent cast manifolds on there for a resonable price. Make sure the wastegate flange is where all the runners merge and not just on one runner.

yeah i have a little budget. iam planing on buying fol like 300-500$ the shipping is not the cheapest. the bad with the tunertoys were that they coult not write down the value. i have to do that because when i buy from US i have to pay like 40% in tax when it come to sweden.

just like I told original poster via PM, there are many full-race, nuekin, CC-fab, CR-fab manis out there that are used and sell cheap.

I got a Nuekin ramhorn mani for $350.00.

Here is a for sale thread right now on HT $250, mini ram horn.
