Much ado about the intake manifold. I took one look at that thing and predicted the only change would be an upward shift in the first torque bump. Bigger plenum, shorter runners = higher resonant frequency.

Ace 150 or the Anaconda requires head rework in order to be advantageous. That killed my dreams of high-rpm NA gains a couple years ago. Same reason as yours. I want to keep mine in that sweet spot for streetability. It's already perfect, IMHO. Maybe an ACE 350 someday but I'm shy about tuning too. I stare at the engine and can't help but appreciate what has been accomplished ...for a two-liter flat-four.

Maybe a better transmission.
