why exactly, is this not like the equal length, wy does the top mount make a better power band? is it the length of the runners?

if you search, there's tons of info.
better flow, better oil drain, access to turbo more convient, able to run big dp's etc etc
i'm in seattle. pm'd ya if you wanna get a manifold locally.

anywhere from 750ish to 1300. my Full-Race was 1250.00 but WAY worth the extra money!

Re: top mount turbo? (killerB16A)
Don't look at it like top-mounts are better manifolds, just consider them different. Depending on the turbo size and RPM range bottom-mounts will do just as well and/or better in some scenarios. The idea of the top-mount is for longer runners and extremely high RPMs. This helps with mid-range and the spooling of large turbos. If your not going to rev past 9.5K RPMs and use a large T3 or T4 turbo then your better off with a bottom-mount.

Agreed, top mounts do not have a better powerband they have a higher RPM powerband meaning they make more peak power. For a daily driven a log style will give you much better spool time.

Very correct. Certain manifolds are used for particular purposes. It is not a one size fits all. In many applications, its not needed, but for those that really has a peak powerband high rpm purpose, like in Drag racing, it has its advantages.
