So for now I am just going to run stock '98-'99 F-Body manifolds. I know I am leaving some power on the table, but I'd rather have it running first, then worry about power mods.
The thing I hate about the f-body manifolds is those GINORMOUS flanges.
I don't have anything mocked up yet but Nathan at Porterbuilt said the frame had to be clearanced for them to clear. This may not be the case if you're not using a dropmember though.
