I've done research, and it suggests that the stock rb25 intake provides the best flow for equal distribution along all cylinders, that's why im contemplating the vertical flow IC

I'm making 306rwhp on 10lbs with a stock(everything minus the intake manifold and engine management) series 2 rb25 with a gasket matched freddy and stock throttle body on it. So you can definitely do it. While the stock manifold does distribute the air better the front style allows you to have way shorter piping which is why I suspect I'm making peak torque(260ftlbs) at 2500rpms. I've only seen the air distribution issues on much higher than 300rwhp rb's.

nice, what did you do for fuel and what management are you using?

Fuel is just a walboro 255 in tank. Engine management is AEM series 2 with MAP,IAT, boost control, and wideband. With my current setup I have less than 18in of charge piping and when I go bigger turbo I hope to cut it to <6in.
