There have been a few cases where the RBB manifold was the better choice of the two, but of what I've seen, those cases were high-output K-series motors, not likely the kind of output to be seen by most members here. I'm talking a coupe hundred horses.


And that's really cute how somebody changed the title of this thread, but can we change it back please? This information is about the K20Z3. Not the K20. The K20 is a very broad designation. I didn't put all of this **** together for nothing. Thanks a bunch.
