May I ask some obvious questions?

OK, I'm thinking very seriously about going with the 13B rotary for my
project, and first of all, thanks to everybody for the great list!  And like
everybody else I want max horsepower at ~6000 rpms.

1. So why aren't we all using peripheral port housings like Powersport for
~210 HP at 6000 rpm?

Good question. I think people are a little reluctant to cut into
their $400 rotor housings.

2. Where are the injectors installed with the prototype manifold?

On the other end of the runners.

3. Is there a major weight saving?

No.

4. And the other benefits of the prototype manifold are???

Other than what?

4. Should I use rotary housing with exhaust splitters, sacrificing a little
power for more manageable noise levels?

Some would say yes. PL

I apologize if all this has been discussed before, but I'm new to this list.
And thanks for the ton of info that I've gleamed in the past week or so, what
a great list!

Thanks in Advance
