Damien,
Got to agree with richard there, the manifold you have is way better than the other style of single manifold. The other style you will find favours cylinders 2 and 3 and not much actually gets to 1 and 4. These are hard to tune as 1 and 4 run lean and 2 and 3 run rich, there is nothing you can do about this. I'd hang on to the manifold that you've got (the lynx one) and sell the other one. Chris S Richard Clough writes: > You've got a Lynx crossover weber manifold.
