I was wondering if either is better than the other, I know some of you are going to say GE because they have such a good rep., but I personally like the STR and I believe they flow around the same CFM's. Any dyno's on either one, which one would you pick? They both are around the same price with the same design, recommendations? thanks

 

come on, I know your guys perfer one or the other.

 

Its look like they from the same company with diff name. Someone correct me if i am wrong.

 

Golden Eagle Mfg. was the original designer and producer for the STR manifold. They still are producing the manifolds and they are on some of the fastest street and race cars in the world. The Prelude manifold should be in stock and ready to ship.

what about b16 mani?

 

Ya I remember that...I think golden eagle made a lot of stuff for str and str just put there name on it... But yes that manifold does make a LOT of power.. I know I need one and My buddy has been running one since they cane out.

 

GE

GE manifolds are sweet looking

 

edelbrock victor x

 

I don't get why GE and STR or Venom sell there Manifolds for 2 times as much as a Edelbrock X.I mean correct me if I am worng but there all kinda the same thing.i have ran a Edlebrock for years and have had great numbers and also save about 360 bucks to put somewhere else. just my 2 cents.

 

i look at it this way u can fit mor air in a 4" square then u can in a 4" circle

Well put.
Which design does the air move the quickest?

 

I started a thread on the topic of what manifold is best for boost a while ago..I think the manifolds fit into basic categories, and the performance goes from the type r /aebs/skunk2 to victor x/bbk to ge/venom/str to full race/endyn..but i could be wrong about the victor/bbk vs the ge/etc..I never found any good dyno tests. People also said there are significant differences between the various box shaped plenum manifolds..

I guess I would recommend the victor x or the bbk though..

 

I would love to see the diffrents,I but there all very close if diffrent at all. Maybe GE has done some dynos?

Actually The circle would flow more then the Square... I think

Lets say for example that the same amount of air is goign through the intake, the square will have slower air velocity which you may not want unless you are pushing a whole lot of air in which case the circle becomes a restriction because of smaller cross-sectional volume. the opposite happens when flowing the same with the circle it would have a higher velocity over the square and at a certain point the velocities would be the same but the square would surpass it in flow.

I bet that was the most confusing thing ever but yea figure it out lol

 

interesting!

Is it wrong of me to have actually made since of that? It sounds right to me.

 

i think the edelbrock flows the best.... even if its a circle.

 

i have a victor x. and i believe most people run the jg/victor x manifolds

at 30psi i dont think it matters
joking aside if you are n/a im sure the way it moves around in the intake makes a difference but when you FORCEFEED it i cant see that much of a diference i would be more concerned about how much air i could cram in it
