its not a power issue, its an efficient issue. at that rate, you need to show pics of the manifold and what you're plans are.

Plenty of "logs" can do that quite well. perhaps its only the ones you've experienced. The Rev-hard and Greddy cast irons can do wonders you'd be surprised about.

However in this circumstance if you went through all the trouble of changing intake manifolds, better exhaust and bigger intercooler, 300whp is not your goal , obviously, and therefore I would say its time to change up to at LEAST an INLINE PRO, if not something from Peakboost , AFI or Spoolin' Performance.

You can make 500whp on a cast iron mani and maybe more. There are some 800+ on a inline pro mani

408hp on a blox cast iron mated with a t3/t04e 57 trim attached to a b16, and ran strong in my opinion

I've been running a cx racing cast manifold for a year now and have no problems so far. I. Made 490hp/368tq at 24 lbs with a sc6152e.

The greddy manifold is definitely struggling pushing it past 300.
