    RS2000 Cast Iron Manifold ?

    Is there any benefit to using an RS2000 cast iron manifold 4-2-1 over the standard pinto 4-1 (as fitted to Capri Laser). It's going into a 100E so a cast manifold is a better and more compact option over an ill fitting 4 branch which would have to be cut anyway. Given the RS2000 item might be worth a few quid, I wondered if there was any noticable performance difference between them ?.

    Cheers
    Phil

    The mk2 rs2000 iron manifold is defiantly an improvement over the mk1 rs2000 manifold due basically to the performance of the manifold. I'd guess this manifold would still give an improvement over the Capri laser item as the power figures for the rs2000 was always greater 110bhp v's 98bhp.

    Cheers

    yes the rs2000 manifold will be worth 5-10bhp more than the capri type
