ok guys, hang tight with me... bit of a newbie question ..... but if i have a choice of picking up either of these, which would be better... the HF or STD mani?? what are the pros and cons of each?

thanks for your time with a homemade newb!!!

It doesn't matter. Get the cheapest one you can find.

 

werd! thats what i like to hear.....


do both the hf and std require port matching?

 

i think the STD is smaller. check out the tech projects section on the website.

either way get which is cheaper or that you can acually find

 

STD has larger runners than the HF, also has the imprint of #3 on runner #4

 

ok ... so is it good to have the longer runners.....

 

larger, i dont think they're longer

 

The runners on the STD are larger so you can port it more and get better flow. If you have the choice of which one to get, go with the STD.

 

which ever is closest, cheapest, and easiest to aquire... i have seen many up close and together, and yes the Std is bigger, but i dont feel its worth the extra money/effort...

there is also a write up in the Tech page on the front of this website, i knwo cuz i took all the pics...

 

Would higher flow (STD) be preferred over higher exhaust velocity/pressure (HF)? It seems that a manifold with higher velocity will promote faster spool over higher flow.

Example: Say you are cleaning one of your box fans (ya know, it's dusty n'----) and you take it outside for a hose down... Full blast with an open hose won't necessarily turn the fan too fast, but if you create a restriction the velocity of the water increases and the speed of the fan does too. Just a thought, a simple simple thougth.

Get what ever is available to you. I'd get the HF because my thought process is too simple to think otherwise
