Top mount looks cooler and cost more.... pretty much about it.

Yeah, fitment in that chassis is tight, but it certainly can and has been done. A topmount is gonna create some lagginess though that you can avoid by going with something more "compact", while still easily meeting your goals.

do a search, lol Me and Tony1 argued about this before.

And Full-Race did a manifold test with a Log, Ramhorn & Topmount on the dyno. If you give them a call they will enlighten you more so than some1 is willing to give you the time for a proper reply.

If i was on my main computer Id just copy and post the gains, but somtimes its better to keep it simple. If your going ALL OUT and need that extra 30-40 hp on a 600+ whp setup, Go Topmount. If you have money to waste and want to spend extra for a Topmount on a 300hp car, Go for it. Only you can make the choice,

In that chassis i'd go w/ a bottom mount, foror fitment/clearance reasons and because a topmount is not necessary for that power level.

Both are great manifolds, But Id have to go with PSI2HI and go with a bottom mount.

Its better suited for the goals at hand.
