Need some opinions and info on log manifold vs sidewinder

[rusty#1]

My goal for my car was 500hp or close to that i planned on tracking it a good amount its also my DD but now since im really busy with school and my job it seems like im not gonna be tracking it that much and it seems like alot of power to barely even be using it,

So im trying to decide if i should save some money and just buy a log manifold or should i go with the sidewinder what do you guys think the turbo that i have is a garret gt30r what kind of power would i see from the log manifold


thanks

yea this is my only car not really gonna be looking for another one anytime soon dont have $$ i already have the gt30r was gonna piece the kit together, would u have an idea how much power i would be putting down with a log manifold im guessing 400-430 ish does that sound right

I actually have a custom T1 sidewinder, not going to mention price. I made 499.9 with a log manifold on e85 with a good tuner, full race fmic, custom piping and a gt3082r w 3" exhaust. If you get a really good turbo and fmic along with a SS log manifold. Mixed with a good tuner and good fuel you should do great.

no sweat I just love the fact that we compared mine to a full-race and The rusults were not close with the same turbo. I would think Peakboost, and full-race would be just fine for 600+ though.

Yes I drove it in the rain pouring rain, and snow....im in tx, id just stay at home that day if that was my only car. Just because a motor makes 600@ xxpsi does not mean your making more than 180whp cruising on the highway. Thats the beauty of a turbo car, boost = hp, cruising= no boost. A honda will drive like a honda out of boost.
