Got the dyno charts anywhere?

 

[kicker22705]

sorry not anymore, its been quite a long time... over a year... maybe two.

So might have made 10-15 HP had you run the same psi on both runs??

After having a quick convo with my favorite vendor I decided Thunder v2 is the way to go for me. Although I would really like to see a head to head dyno on these these two as well

Man I'm probally going to save up and just get the MAM manifold. unless a used V2 thunder came up on the forsale forum for cheap.

Good luck finding one though...

They come up every now and then. I found one about a week ago for 500 bucks and thats a deal right there but i didnt really want it just yet. im wanting to get my 505zoom intake manifold on and see how that turns out.

 

[Outlawstar98]

i want the 505intake mani, I dont have 750$ ATM though

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

Yeah they will be bitchin. its worth the money and the wait.

Go Steedspeed. I have had both Thunder V1 and now a Steedspeed. I can honestly say I am VERY happy with the Steedspeed mani. I dunno if the Thunder V2 is prone to the same problems as V1 (I would assume its not, however time will tell). I can see parts that MAY crack (I am not saying it is, but I can see where they might, IF they do). The Steedspeed I cant find any place that would crack on it LOL. Both mani's are great, but for me the Steedspeed has the looks (personal opinon) and the style that I like.

 

[itz_alan]

are there any vids posted of the installed steedspeed mani?

Where's the dyno runs with both manifolds? There were a few people that ordered it and were gonna post how much of a gain it was.

 

[thepope540]

Power isn't everything, but neither is perceived quality. I'd like to see the numbers for both. My stock manifold is cracked so a replacement will be needed soon.

 

[itz_alan]

just got the steedspeed mani installed. amazing. def recommend this product

 

[Outlawstar98]

Mine is going in tomarro

Then I have to find a dyno day, or spend more $ to rent a dyno and do the after test

 

[rally2003]

I'm going to go steedspeed, when I get mine. Looks sweet a guy in town has it and has nothing but praise for it.

 

[43975]

No offense to anyone on here or anywhere FTM. But unless you have run both. Your going to sing praises about an upgraded exhaust mani.
I would really love to see a true comparison of the two manifolds. I think both look great and I'm sure both make great numbers.
But which one really is the better Mani??? As far as solidity, obviously the SteedSpeed wins, it's build for war, but the V2 looks solid itself and I haven't heard of any v2 cracking.
With that said both are better then what I'm running...Stock cracking mani FTL.

So Thunder VS. SteedSpeed...which makes more power?????!!!!

I just saw this post....You had both... did you dyno either? Do you feel one makes more power then the other?
