I thought Greddy only made a intake manifold for the SR.

Shouldn't atomization be primarily be handled by the design of the injector? I know the slight rough finish on the inside of intake runners is thought to help with atomization but how much does it really effect? I would imagine that it would primarily help with preventing detonation because of the air/fuel mix being more evenly mixed when it enters the combustion chamber.



Did you dyno the car before installing the manifold? If you didn't it would be nice if you installed the stock manifold and ran that on a dyno and then do the new manifold on the dyno to have a comparison and be able to see where you made/lost power and what not.
