I understand what everyone is saying (and thanks for the responses) but my question is more along the lines of which manifolds I should get. I was wondering if anyone had compared the ramhorns with a newer style such as the F body LT1 manifolds, which are still ramhorn-ish but dump at the rear and are sure to have benefited from years of computational fluid dynamics... I didn't know if they would fit, but they are less 'hoopy', that is, they don't come up between exhaust ports as much, and they looked like routing spark plugs would be easier, plus they are 2.5" I think.

Anyone?
