they tend to go downhill around the 300hp mark.. ported and for a boost setup like yours for low psi and not max power you can get away with it

std I do believe has the larger ports.

I used an hf on 15psi, porting one is a pain in the ***, but whatever.

hf ftw

i ran my vx manifold to 17psi daily with a 14b, then my wg actuator arm broke and the car saw 22 + psi and cracked a sleeve.

so now i'm going to port my manifold, rebuild my engine and go for it again.

I'm taking a an electric die grinder and a carbide bur to mine to port it out nicely. We'll see how it goes

http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/1Z356 is the bur I'm using.
