Del Rio's answer

just got off the phone with Gerardo Del Rio (super nice guy). i can not go to links at work, so i appologize if this is answered in the link. he was curious as to the test used and how much water was flowed. he has to use 10 inches of water because they are at 2300m (7600 ft +/-) above sea level. anyway, their manifold flows 20% more than stock at this altitude using this test. the hornet style (his translation) runners keep low end torque and no bottle neck up top. on a stock turbo'd car, it required 15% more gas and did make more power. hope this helps.
