Also the larger area in head ports are not active enough with air flow velocity because of the simple fact that there passing far less air then there port area was opened up to handle.
This is killing your mid range torque that the motor could have!

And now the common response is, but the tripower looks cool!

Ok, that’s fine but then don’t complain that you feel the motor is not performing like it should!
Steve, you bring up alot of good points, the manifold was at SD im assuming they made things right..............hopefully they are are at the 295 cmf they are suppose to be at...........im thinking they are better than the 230 you stated, maybe not, who knows..........any other info would be great.
