   I've had mine fitted a few weeks and had no problems I didn't drive the car without so cant tell you if it made any reall difference but my car has no problems and flys through the revs so it cant be too bad.
   
   It also look pretty damn sexy although it needs heat wrapping as it gives of stupid amounts of heat (No real suprise).
   
   There's a post on SSC showing rolling road graphs b4 & after.

   It was a mission to fit in terms of tightening the studs up but I used standard ones its meant to be a lot easier with raceland ones, my car is loud as hell but I've never known any different as I fitted it with a new engine.

    There on Ebay but there not branded as Raceland but I got mine through an SSC group buy there's bound to be another one soon.
    
    Fatsax- Thats a very clean engine bay you have there and my manifold has gone the same colour as yours now, it doesn't take long for them to change.

    ive had both the gmc and the raceland and i prefer the raceland one, its gives a smoother power band imo
