Default SSAC mani vs HF mani?!?

we all know the ssac manifolds suck *** in worksmenship and quality. but if braced correctly to prevent the welds from cracking.... does it flow better than an hf manifold?? i mean it is a short tubular style manifold, so can it flow better than the almighty hf??

i had mine on unbraced for 5 months with no problems on 6 psi, as soon as i cranked it up to 10+, it was cracked everywhere within a day. i rewelded it and added more supports, and braced it to the block, and never had a problem with it again

When you buy a SSAC your basically buying an unfinished mani that you should finish up yourself. Add some weld and brace it and it should be fine.
