Inlinepro Tubular Manifold

my main point is when you drop compression you lose power so you boost more to compensate... which is what these people don't seem to understand....
If you ran the stock compression with the Inline kit at 10 psi and achieved say 350-375 whp, you are going to get exactly the same whp at 15 psi with a 3mm HG and 9:1 compression. So, why risk the work of putting the HG on and possibly get some sort of leak or something?

We all know that and aren't arguing that fact at all. The question is why would you go through the time to lower the compression if your turbo runs fine at lower boost? You will still be getting the same end result on total engine compression under boost.
... my whole point on every post in this threads has been low compression "vs" high compression.....due to the post i first quoted....

Not 15psi for 350-375whp.
Is anyone at or above 400whp without a head gasket or a built motor with lower compression pistons?
Sideways did this with a super tweaked up Vortech SC setup, but I also think his compression was impacted by all the head work he had done by Joe Alaniz.
Anyone?
Back on topic, as this thread has the appearance of going just about every direction.
You will need to speak with Ya@InlinePro in regards to whether or not they will offer their tubular manifold. Apparently reading above, it seems you have already done so! If my new setup is not what I am hoping it to be, I will be contacting Inline to have one custom made for myself as well!
Your $10,000 price range could be obtainable, as long as you have some thing's already taken care of.
There is a huge difference between pushing 350whp to pushing over 700whp - there are many thing's that you will need to look into. Perhaps some other people can add, however this is the list that I can easily think of for you.
These are all thing's to consider, on top of the engine build and turbo kit itself!

- Transmission - obviously the stock clutch will not hold. Look into an aftermarket clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel! I'd recommend Competition Ironman.
- Driveline - it's rather safe to say your stock differential and axles will probably not last too long, especially if you plan to drag race the car. For that, I would look at the Inline Pro Differential Conversion Kit.
- Cooling - 700whp... "That's Hot!" [/ParisHilton]. Look towards an aftermarket radiator and fans at minimal - I'd suggest Koyo Radiator and FAL Dual Fans.
- Fuel - Obviously this is something you've already considered. Better safe than sorry, too large is better than too small. 1600cc Injectors, Dual Walbro Fuel Pumps, and AEM Fuel Pressure Regulator.
These are all thing's to consider, on top of the engine build and turbo kit itself!
