| Greetings list!  On the R16 race car (mild build engine, stock cam, stock 
carbs, minor head work, etc.) we have the option of running the stock manifold 
or removing it and putting on a header I have sitting around.  For this car, he 
is actually looking for more torque than top end.  My understanding is that the 
4-2-1 stock manifold is more likely to help mid range, while the 4-1 header 
would help top end... thoughts or comments or experiences?  Are there major 
restrictions in the stock manifold?  We are doing at least a 2 1/4" exhaust.  
Thanks!
Greg
