Default Power limit of rs500 inlet manifold?
Has anyone got an idea of the power limit of a rs500 inlet manifold? I'm using one on my engine aiming for 530-550hp at the moment but 600+ in the future. Is it worth me just fitting a heart inlet first as last?

I did think of doing this but I have a yb Capri too so all the left overs from the saff end up on that! It would make sense to sell it tho as its brand new.

Lol. I totally agree with u! So far a few capris, a turbo xr4i and now the taxi have all got in the way of me finishing it, but it's next inline.

Close to 700 over 800 with gas.
We swapped it for a Hart & made 37bhp without doing anything. A spaced Hart did 838bhp.
