Hope Im doing this right. Is the pulse manifold worth the price over a stock one? 1997 ,nv4500,us gear 2 spd,4.10,k&n gen ll intake,4"straight stacks. Im about to install a 10 plate,gov. springs, gages.

 

How much is a stock one? You can get a Pulse Manifold for around 425 with new gaskets.

 

New one on line I saw was 466.

 

So you can get a better quality one that will flow better for less money. It's a no-brainer for me.

 

I did not make my self clear. There is nothing wrong with stock one,I need to know if a pulse has that much more performance over the stock?

 

look around more- you can get them for around 425.00 with new gaskets.
As for better performance over stock, you get guys saying it does and guys saying it doesn't.
I have wanted one for a while now, but only bought one when I bought the new turbo.
Other than looking cool, I don't think it is worth the money if you are not going to put a different turbo. Just due to the effort involved with removing the old turbo.
Harold, also go into the 'User CP' and fill in your signature with your truck info.

Look on the left side of the page near the top in the banner and click on 'User CP'.
On the new page, look on the left, and click on 'Edit Signature'.
A new text box will come up, and insert your truck info on it. Submit, and you are good to go.

 

If theres nothing wrong with your stocker, I wouldn't upgrade just yet. I replaced my stocker with an ATS because it was cracked. I also straight piped my exhaust at the same time. Between the two of those, I saw about 50 degree drop in EGT's. Didn't really notice any change in spool up either.

 

Free mod. Take your stock manifold, port it and gasket match it to the head and turbo. You will notice the difference.
