   hi lads
   
   i am currently half way through getting my engine converted to an S engine with this i am using a raceland manifold. was talking to the lads who are fitting my engine and they said when it comes time to put my cams in it would be worth swapping to a supersprint to get the best out of the engine?
   
   what do you lads think? is it worth the swap? would it help when it comes time to mapping with the power?

   Basic principles of whats being improved.
   
   And the best choices are the supersprint 4-2-1 as you said, piper 4-1 or a GMC/BTB but looking alot more money there and more designed for 160bhp+
   
   The cheaper racelands wont give as good gains as these, but will still be much better than standard.
   
   As for power increases, only really looking about 5bhp at the most I would have thought.
