The Manifold that we made was two torker manifolds cut in half with the halves welded together. The Manifold worked great for a "stock" set of heads. Then when acid dipping came on the scene the manifold did not work as well as the warrior.

We HOPE we will see it by Feb! As soon as we get pics we will post them! We did our dyno-tab( the pill octane booster) test with our prototype! But that prototype is probably been cut into 4 pieces to make the molds!!! As soon as we get a pic you will also see 1/8 page adds in PE and HPP and Smoke Signals.
Dave and I will keep you all updated! There are ALOT of cool things happening right now at PPR. That you will all see soon!
Be Cool,

Yes the manifold had better velocity! It made 11 more hp than the Performer RPM and required 2 less jet in the front AND back. Hence our manifold has a better signal! Probably due to the fact the runners are so short!
Just siiting here waiting for our first prototype back from the factory! As soon as we get it we will throw it back on the SAME engine to see if it does the same! If not we have to modify it and send it back so they can do the adjustments to the molds! Believe me as soon as I get it the WORLD will know!! LOL!! As soon as we get the prototype and ok it. We will be taking down $50 deposits to hold a manifold for whoever wants one!
Be Cool,
Ace
PS---new website should be ready in about a week with NEW parts and online ordering! :-)

Do you have a torque comparison between the Performer RPM and the Tomahawk at say 3,500 rpm?

Also, any more news on the new heads? We haven't heard anything from you on this since June . . .

Just heard that our manifold project is first in line. Our manufacturing partner is on his way back from overseas. We should have more on a timeline to report next week when he is back.

Here is the combo used to test the manifold. To me just your average street engine!
455 .040 over with Keith Black Dished pistons, and CAT H-beam rods. Cast # 62 heads ported to 240-250 cfm. Cam is 234/241 with 537/544 lift on a 110 LC useing 1.5 SS Cat rockers. The compresion calculates to 9.1. Anything else you wanna know about the test engine??? I would be happy to share it!!
Be Cool,
