Yes, but only at one track. Was the top end there? Yep. Did it make more power than mine overall? Nope. Did it even make more power than my car peak? Nope.
A proper .64 setup > an .86 setup. Again, if you need more than 400 whp, go 30r, and benefit from a proper top mount manifold.
In order to be fast you need to get the most power down the fastest. Top end only proves to have an advantage on big HP tracks, and even then, if you can run out of a corner even just 5 mph faster, it takes a tremendous amount of power for a similar car to overcome. At a smaller course, an .86 would leave you dead on the water.
I'll take instant spool and grip to propel me out of corners, rather than hoping to rely on bigger power. To date, I still don't see any .86 cars with more average hp and trq than mine. Seat of pants means nothing on the big end. My car even at 12psi on street tires is just as fast as a new z06 on street tires in terms of course speed.

That internal gate sucks. Once you change, you'll see why. Greddy also 'used' to offer rebuild services (back in Profec Spec I days...) I don't even know where to look to see if they still do.

I've seen cars with flex pipes, every factory mount upgraded to nismo, and every hanger on the car, still bust their manifolds. Some are good, some are bad...that's the name of the game in cheap part land.

I can't wait
T2 power!

Unsure what they are now. I got most of my stuff done through group buys 3 years ago.

NEVER! MLS gaskets require nothing but a clean decked head and block.
