So I just ditched my drag log manifold, and i'm in the market for a new manifold. My budget is no more than $600 for right now. Does not matter if it's new or used, i'm looking to see what's the best manifold that will help spool, and overall performance of my car. I've narrowed it down to 4 companies, Spoolinperformance, Full-Race, LoveFab or SSautochrome.

Setup is as follows
81mm b16
wiesco 9:1's with eagle rods
ARP head studs with cometic HG
ITR cams
Supertech springs and retainers
2.5 IC piping
stock im and tb
Garrett T3 60-1 .63 hotside .70 coldside

Shooting for 360whp, I want 400whp i'd rather surpise myself

Spoolinperformance- I really like their "Prototype1 manifold"

Full-Race- good rep. i'm no baller but if the difference can be seen, may make it worth the while to see.
LoveFab- friend of mine put me on to them, opinions?
SSAutoChrome- LOL! I know cheap ****, but there "Twisted Ram Manifold has made GOOD POWER on alot of peoples setups and hasn't cracked and it's cheap.

Thoughts? Opinions? Recommendations? Just looking for feedback folks no flaming!!!

if you want a ssautocrome ramhorn, i give you one for $70 haha ive had it welded cracked at the wastegate once and so have a few of my friends... id say go with a decent company like spooling and you wont regret it.... phil at spoolin is a nice guy if any problems he will make it rite...

For what its worth Full-Race is having a sale right now. You can get manifolds with substantial discounts so its best to take advantage of that now. Not to mention Full-Race pretty much leads the industry in quality/customer service. So I am a nut swinger, call it what you want but they have proven themselves time and time again. The fastest SFWD cars use Full-Race, that alone should tell you something. Like I stated before they're having a sale right now which will save you hundreds.

thanks !!

of course im biased. but 3 out of the 4 are great companies to choose from.

if you can get a good condition FR manifold for your budget, of course it's some of the best stuff out there.

if you're lookin for new and within your budget, many of our designs are well within your budget.

lovefab, cody makes great stuff too but budget thing goes, its on the higher side of your budget. Not to say cody doesn't make outstanding products for the price, just possibly out of your price range.

lol my friend had that manifold. It's so thin. It cracked like in 3 places lol. The one that's in the picture. It's the funniest **** I've seen.
lmao I love when people can't make a dumptube right and have to move the radiator.

Go look at the FS threads and see what you can get for a decent price, as long as you don't mind used. A used manifold that hasn't cracked is unlikely to do to in the future, it just won't sparkle like a new mani does for the first week.

As far as name, those 3 have decent names when it comes to manifolds, you really can't go wrong. Another company many like is Arizona Forced Induction (AFI). They sell decent manifolds at good prices, and don't have any problems (certainly not like SSauto).

There are numerous companies to choose from that provide excellent products, but since you mentioned it doesn't need to be new i would suggest searching the classifieds for a quality used manifold. You also stated that you want a manifold that will help spooling times and produce over 360whp. My suggestion would be for a short ram style manifold or SP's "quick 4", these types of manifolds will provide a quicker spooling time when compared to most tubular manifolds(ramhorn/topmount) and can still yield great power numbers.

Bottom line, try and find a used short ram/quick 4 manifold from a reputable company.
