Running a fresh 200-4R transmission and 12 bolt 3.55 rear end.

With my dragy my best 1/4 mile run is 14.59 at 96 mph. Thought it would be better.

Always wanted to do the ram air manifolds but then I saw this post!

How much performance gain would I get with the log manifolds opened up to 2" and a pypes 2.5" mandrel system?

VS what I have now?

VS ram air maniolds and pypes 2.5" mandrel system?

Thanks! Kent Kelsey
vs a crimp bent 2.25" you should drop a 1/2 second in the quarter mile. I don't think hogging out the end of the manifold flange will affect performance that much.
