Made things fit a little better when i was doing fitup with a half rad installed. I called precision and they said max angle is 15* and I'm at 7.2* so I'm not worried. It was probably a 5* before welding and things slightly moved as i was zipping it up. Stainless likes to move around as you weld.Reason for the tilt?

Thannks @psantiago I'm not worried about gussets or supports. Sch10 is pretty thick compired to 16guage tube manifolds. One runner only tacked by itself held my turbo and side exit with no issues at all. I opted for th sch10 over sch40 also for weight reasons. Supports attaching to the head flange (where most vibration comes from) is the reason for cracks that occur. All thats left is porting things out smoothly and thisnprototype is done as hell.Manifold is looking good! May not hurt to throw in a few gussets for support. Looks like some pretty nice tig work.
I'd love to. I'm moving to arizona end of july so i may go once I'm down there at night, or itll have to be in the winter when temps are below 90You gonna make some passes this year?
Thanks man! Goal right now is just to get into the 10's and the shoot for 9.9 I'd love to eventually get a 150mph trap with this turbo, and I'd be happy if it put out/held together at 800-850whp but the motor was built tight so it probably won't last. I'm gonna give it a shot though!Excellent work. The manifold and car look great. I hope you achieve your goals.
Kyle you are my awd inspiration anything 9@150 sounds good!Thanks man! I'm not really shooting for a hp number my goal is 9's at 150 well see what happens. I will take it to the dyno some time this winter hopefully.
And no i still need to build the head and report those results, jist havnt had time with a bunch of stuff going on. I need to pull the head to install everything but i wanted to do some testing first on the 272's. Oh and I'll coat the manifold when it really starts to look like sh** i dont daily drive this car
