there's so many variables involved but for you and the purposes of your question, I'm just going to say no.

Why do you say that, I'm not going to do it, just want to know the design differences. I like to learn new things every day.

The advantages of the top mountmanifold versus the ram horn style is purely turbo position. The top mount allows for the use of a true 4" down pipe, makes servicing the turbo easier, and the height differential allows for a good turbo return line setup. The top mount also can accomodate large frame t4's like a GT42r where a ram horn, depending on maker might not fit that turbo. With that being said if you are not planning on running a turbo like a gt40 or bigger or a 4" DP then there is really no reason a top mount is going to be a better manifold than a ram horn. Hope this helps.

Also look into what kind of power you want. We have made 600+ on our shorty tubular manifolds while keep ing the A/C.
Like KJ said , it's mainly due to the turbo size and fitment. A 3" downpipe will support 550whp ,a 3 1/4" will support 600.
How much power do you want ?
