No, just figure out what you want more - topend or midrange

In my case I had the Full Race turbo manifold and my .86ar spooled more like a .64 so I got the best of both worlds.

"Good" or "best" are relative terms in this sort of decision. Are you going to drift? Autocross? Street daily driven? Drag or highway race?

I drove my car 95% street and 5% drag, so I went to the .86ar but used cams with better mid range to create a combo that I was really happy with.

I drift my car and daily it, but I dont really care how it is on the street.

Right now I have hks 264 step 2, and I think they would be a good match with the .86. I thought of also keeping the stock cast manifold, because it doesnt crack, and I heard it helps spool a tiny bit.

We'll see, whatever I buy its going to happen over the winter.
