Wilson Manifold.

All of their manifolds are custom made for different builds.

I doubt any of the few (like 1 to 3) members of the board that have them have their trucks running at this time.

You probably won't get any feedback on numbers, because there aren't that many people running it. For those who ARE running it, their builds are going to be very different, so gains, etc. will be varied.

Price is going to range from ~2.5k to 4k for a manifold most likely.

Has used the new Wilson manifold. I'd imagine it puts out some good numbers.
If anyone has results like HP gains, price and so on, I would appreciate it.

As previous postings from other members suggest,
1. probably only a very select few have custom ordered/needs for this manifold.
2. those that have, have probably ported/modified intake for their own application/build.
3. probably have a unique perspective (twin turbo or non-standard application/use)
4. probably are reluctant to publish to the world, maybe due to dollars invested,
under-construction/tuning phase, use of the vehicle (street, strip or show use).
And since Wilson caters to custom builds, I would imagine vendor/customer design
dialogs would be "the norm" rather than web/member list "receipe builds".

And given the normal builds
-find this manifold overkill for dollars invested
-find 30 to 100hp gains in other less costly methods (alky kits, nitrous, bigger tubo etc)
-find weight elimination another avenue for gaining hp
-find very high rpm`s, and high mph enhancements less important for SyTys (given brick design)


But these are only guesses on my part.

Thanks guys. Just found out our shop sells Wilson's. If what I think is going to happen, does in fact happen, it will be no ordinary build. No restriction would exist. As for porting them, we do heavy porting so squeezing out a few extra CFM would be no problem. Got to get our EMC motor done before I can even think of doing a SyTy build. Plus I need the truck first. :lol: If anyone is in New York in early October swing by the EMC Dyno testing facility. If you want to give a hollar to anyone from my shop look for FCR Performance on the 6th. Take care and thanks for the input guys.

fyi, wilson doesnt offer any discounts on their custom manifolds or labor so it doesnt matter if you are a dealer. Also depending on the heads/block combo you may find that in order to make a cast manifold work it will take lots of welding/modifying so it is almost easier to get one custom built to your specs.. Wilson is as good as it gets and run around $4500+

If you are running a production style head, i would think of several better ways to invest your money.

Who said anything about pricing. I was not implying I can get them for free, jst saying I am more informed about them. I wouldn't run a stock style head, and torching and welding are of no worry. And of course the extra money would be paid for a detail specific I/M.

(Apologizing and momentarily hijacking this thread), perhaps a bit more info on intake
manifold "upgrades" could be discussed to clarify:

-"when to" Extrute Hone Stock Intake and Plenium on single-turbo/even-fire builds?
(is higher intake flow rates always desireable? is higher rpm/hp/torque the outcome? is
bigger cam/injectors/turbo`s/heads a requirement? is electric water pump, removal of
AC/accessories also desireable first? is this a "strip" advantage vs "street"?)

-"when, in a build receipe/plan" to consider purchase/custom design" of Intake Manifolds?
(when all weight reduction, turbo engineering, bolt-on mods have been performed?
when planning an non-standard build, as with Twin-Turbos, Odd-fire or V8 implants?
when engineering a2a, radiator, electric fan plumbing?)

-"what potential problems exist
(with regard to throttle bodies? modifying cast intake manifold? hot spots, leaning,
swirling, flooding, adjusting intake flows? improving/degrading detonation?)

Since SyTy intakes are unique to begin with, can satisfactory gains be made (and expected)
in a 11-12 sec ET Build, or is this for extreme performance (mostly)?

....<again, sorry for the disruption, but I found the subject matter interesting>
thanks,

Well when I get to the starting point, the motor will be written on paper, ran through multiple computing systems, and put to work on the dyno. There will likely be no factory parts. And in all SyTy performance builds, a cam is a must seeing as it's just a basic 4.3 cam. High flow rates are important boosted or not. Although the air is compressed, weak flow points will be a restriction regardless of popular belief. As for flow characteristics, we have a flow bench and multiple professional porters on hand so the characteristics will be compensated for. I would keep A/C and accesories and it would be an AW driven weekend cruiser and strip runner. I personally will plan out the bottom end more thoughfully than the top. But until I get my raise :lol: I'm just checking around for possibilities and combinations. I have wanted one of these trucks since I was 13. I have watched many people build FUBAR builds on this site and wonder why they spit a rod out. But I have also seen the people who know what they're doing go fast. When the day comes, I'm pretty confident I will be one of those people.
