Hi atm my x16xe is very very peaky and from 4500 it pulls like a train which i know alot of peoples do with inlet manifolds fitted!

Im just worried about the lack of power i have before then and hoping i can improve low down revs as it lets me down greatly!

Current set up is

X16XE
MANTZEL INLET
BMC CDA
SUPERCHIPPED ECU
FSE ADJUSTABLE FUEL REGULATOR
DECAT

am i correct in thinking the best way to increase low down power would be to purchase a 4-2-1 manifold???

how big will the improvement if at all?

many thanks

cant believe you're runnig all that an a standard exhaust system!

ive got a full janspeed and noticed a big difference. im alos runnig a mantzel type inlet

pulls nicely from 2500rpm and really kicks in at 4000rpm. and didnt used to pull at all till 3000rpm pre janspeed

however when driving 'spiritedly' when i shift up the revs dont normally drop below 4000rpm anyway so never bothers me much really!

worthwhile investment in my opinion
