| DRR Elite |
billet manifolds will soon be what many builders use and racers want on their bracket dragster/TD & TS engines. MBE launched their billet manifolds earlier this year and a good friend of mine whose name is on the manifold they are using in the video, runs their 9 degree heads too with this manifold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpgZ5GAr-3U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtHLPVz-_18 and now APD has done the same for a Dart/CFE 11 degree head and they are working on one for a Brodix 20 degree and 16.5 degree now.

I saw the APD version first hand back in October and it's a nice piece but how many will want or can afford to fork out $6500 for a manifold? It would be interesting to see what the actual power increase is on the dyno and on the track. | |||

Probably will become more common eventually...but not at the current $6500 price point. At least for the APD version. Ed I thought you weren't impressed with the performance of the 9 degree deal? | |||
|
| DRR Elite |
I'm not. I have yet to see any 9 degree combo that is impressive. There maybe on or 2 out there but of all the ones I have seen first hand, none impressed me. what's another $6500 when you are already spending, $35 - $40K?This message has been edited. Last edited by: 1320racer, | |||

Really like 4000 more after porting a cast manifold. I think the bigger picture is that it will lead people into going the boosted route for "cheap easy" horsepower | |||
|
| DRR Elite |
this is impressive but other than what's stated, I know nothing about it. would like to know the weight going down track.   similar combo based on the description   This message has been edited. Last edited by: 1320racer, | |||

Well he said 45 to 65 more Horsepower that is significant if true. Horsepower cost money, how fast do you want to go? If it does help power that much sure makes it more cost effective even at $6500. Now if it does not help as much as they said............ But if you want more direct line of sight to the ports and lighter weight I think a good sheetmetal intake may be better. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability.

Boo is a racing friend of mine. I will ask what weight he is running at. ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

while you're asking, is a carbon body car too? | |||

I wonder how many hours on the CNC it takes to make one. I bet those manifolds make a big pile of chips. | |||

Well it is pretty impressive performance N/A no matter the weight of it. And with a GET'M carb to. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability.

They look amazing that’s for sure. Not something I can personally justify the cost on at this time…. But they are are nice and I’ll have a little jealousy every time I see one I’m sure | |||

| DRR Elite |
Get'M carbs are nothing special. | |||

Rumor is they are operating with copy right infringement too | |||

Hear they had a court date in November | |||

Haven’t heard from Boo yet but a really close friend of mine that is friends with Boo says it’s not a carbon body. TNT car with aluminum block. Joe Jolly did the heads personally. ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

thanks for the info so at a minimum, Joe "hand tuned" his cnc'd casting which would be additional $ and not something he normally does back in March...

Man, sounds like the rich people's problems are continuing to increase. Almost makes me glad I don't have to deal with those.   Take care. Tom WorthingtonIf it seems that bracket racing has gotten too expensive for you, maybe you are just doing it wrong. | |||
