We should do a group buy on those?

It's called a Gang Bang Nitin, not Group Buy.

Aye so back to the topic. I'll be running a stock exhaust manifold until i can afford a custom made one. As for tuning package, im just going for the p28 with hondata s300 off h-tune (expensive but it comes with warranty)

Guess ill just have to wait and see really, who knows what the Blacktrax will produce. I will post figures when its done

wait off with the tune until you can afford a manifold too mate.. then get it tuned up.. it's worth the wait to get results your happy with

+1 on that!

Yeah, there'll be a fair amount of restriction with a stock exhaust manifold, so you'll not really benefit for the uprated induction setup so much.

... So I'll amend my prediction to 227.1 as it is... I assumed you had a Mugen exhaust manifold as well.

Cant really afford both a manifold and tuning at once, cos i plan to get a 2ws conversion done after the MOT. Think i mite go with the tuning, means i'll have the car running right at the least. If things go to plan then JUST MAYBE i could be able to get manifold

The exhaust manifold will be your bottleneck, although it will be interesting to see what it makes at its current level? Any particular reason for the 2WS conversion?

You'll end up paying for tuning twice if you go for tuning first, and you'll not get the most out of the first tune as the OEM manifold will be restricting it too much. Doesn't really make sense to do it in that order.
