GTech and butt dyno are helpful, but won't tell the full story.

I have my suspictions about what the results will be. Likely going to have negative effects in the lower RPM ranges, that will harm driveability and idle to off-idle throttle response, and have great effects in the upper RPM ranges.
This is based on my theories, not any kind of testing. I *may* see about getting a spare manifold, and testing this for myself. It's something I have been debating for a while.
Of course, the results may be totally different between stockport and streetport engines. They may also vary depending on whether the carb is basiclly stock, or has had the Sterling treatment. Even different exhaust setups could have different results.
In the end, I will be curious to know what you discover. I hope that you will indeed post the results of testing, whether it turns out the way you hope or not.
