Hi

Im currently having MED build me a 1380 with a 285 cam and was wondering what will be the best manifold to go with?
Im currently running with a 6" inlet manifold and weber 45 matched with a maniflow stage 2 LCB with reverse megaphone.
Should i keep this set up or go with a 3-1? Im not bothered about noise (having a s/c box fitted to).

Many thanks

Johnny

stick with what you have!! stg2 lcb should work fine!! what you gain in using a 3 into 1 at the top in power you will lose lower down the revs with a std lcb and i think the stg2 lcb pretty much makes it an even playing ground without the loss lower dwn the revs!

A 3-1 is only gonna move power further up the rev range, for road driving i'd say the LCB is best.
