Yea, Cam almost had it. almost. I think you'd probably have to drill and tap the manifold with something like a spark plug hole so you could screw a probe in there with the tip ending up right at a port. Somebody has to have a spare manifold to donate to the cause? :bigwink: Or you could just be a hero and drill your own and screw a plug in it later. :hmm:BJB and I think Sgt Stanko have those fancy custom manifolds now. maybe send a stock manifold to Cam... just thinking :shifty:
Hey Dave, man I know I owe ya a ton of info. But right now I'm in burnout stage and don't feel like getting in the middle of a discussion. But for some stupid ass reason, I'm looking for a new manifold to try some stuff on once again. And if I can get it, I'll do things a little differently so we can install some probes for testing. I was gonna reply to several posts here...........but F-it. Here's what I run, and what I've found, agree or not. Ported and flowed. Interior ceramic barrier coated and the exterior powder coated. What I've found so far is that isolating the manifold from the heads (spacer) and then coating both surfaces does a great job of reducing heat gain. The theories of black/white IMO are BS unless exposed to sunlight. And for some reason, I tend to drive with my hood closed. The polished manifolds were much more prone to radiant heat gain then the PC'd units. Maybe after she's back together and running, I'll feel like playing around again. Right now, I just want a drink.
