I'm looking at a tuned manifold with 18-22 inch long runners.Does the Atkins
manifold offer some sort of HP boost ot 6000 rpm ? I'm looking at using a
2.17 to 1 reduction on the PSRU.

I have to confess my computer illiteracy- how do I set my mail set up to 65
cheracters per inch? Thanks.

As I racall the runners on the Atkins manifold are not near
twenty four inches and that is about what you need for max
HP at 6000 RPM and a 2.17:1 PSRU.

Well you did something Brian and what ever it was it worked.
Your line length is now reasonable. Keep doing it.
