Freddy intake manifold vs stock

[quickdiversion]

The stock manifold will give you a little more low end torque carrier if the longer runners. I use a Freddy manifold but I made sure to gasket match mine. I had to cut out allot of extra metal and then my welder. Added as bunch of metal to the other side to be matched. It was a lot of work but I think it's worth it with the Freddy. I used it with my 2871r and now I'm using it with my hx35. Only other problem I can think of is running top feed fuel rails. It only had 3 mounting points, not 4
