Is it worth putting a bbm manifold on an EB engine?

and what benefits do you get out of it?

thanks.

there is definitely more torque lower in the rpm. before i fitted mine, chiptorque said i would lose top end hp, but i actually gained, but that could be due to fitting a 3" exhaust as well.

my bbm is also ported, and the butterflies and connecting rod also modifed.

iv been wanting to do this for years on mine, i have no problem getting revs up with a JMM dev4 cam and a EA manual, but it doesn't move like it should sound tho....
