Yes, that is what he thinks. If you look at the EFI inlet and compare it to an Escort inlet, the 2 inlet runners on the EFI inlet are directly opposite the throttle body. The Escort manifold has the inlet runners away from the throttle body so they can't be force fed air as easily

The theory of the different wheels is to try and increase traction as currently it wheels spins quite easily. Ultimately he would like to leave the car on 7 spokes but it's a bit lively when coming on boost.

i do prefer the original wheels, they are back on and the comps are back
stacked up with brand new tyres on that have moved 2 foot
as daz said, the main decision behind them is to try get better traction,
think some toyo R888's may be ordered instead

i reckon keep the comps, gives that car a different but good look to it. also being the 5 spokes the suit the old skool image of the car i jsut think the colour is all wrong.
and they give the car the stance that it needs!!

Since you have recently rebuilt your engine (using quality pistons),i think that it's a pity.
I would advice you to use the EFi setup {efi inlet+adaptor plate if needed} (combines economy with efficiency) or a larger custom made inlet.
