<VV> IECO 2BBL Manifold

[bernievogler at comcast.net]

I ran a home-made version of the ram manifold with Holley 4 bl on my 140HP engine. I noticed the runner tubing got VERY cold. It would condense moisture on the outside in humid spring and fall months and frost some on the outside in the winter, but I NEVER had trouble with the motor running with this system - other than a very slight delay in response to the gas pedal. {The delay was not as much as my turbo '02 VW, but I could sense it.} I did have a nice power surge from upper middle RPM to near 5000 that I liked. It had a Stage I Yenko motor- ie. mildcam, headers, spring tensioner. It is "under restoration" at this time.

I live in wet, cool Washington. I don't think I'd need it either, but 
since I have it... 

Thanks,
