The material used is not going to effect the lag, the design will though.

Most of the cheaper ones simply don't fit - ask Thanasis for a pic of what he had to do to his. He has done a good job but it took a lot of careful work!

The manifold won't affect it hardly at all, a de shroud of the head will though.
My T34 makes 142lbft at 1500rpm, 330lbft at 2200rpm, and holds it all the way to 6300rpm, still at 330lbft.
