And all the arrows point to the ECU, that just got reset, and the car running very lean because of it.

This could be a good test of how much the ECU really learns. I will go back in a couple of weeks and see if it does any better. I think I need a reflash to really get going, but it is not happening right now.
Resetting the ecu probably didn't help the situation since it puts it back to an oem relearn state. Considering your agressive intake and exhaust mods a tune is in order. More fuel should also increase pwr/tq.

Frosty, I don't understand. Supposedly the manifold works BEST for FI. I got it because I plan to maybe go FI in the (more near every day) future. Getting the most of your FI is (IMHO) the reason to get this manifold.

For NA, the gains are moderate, but looks very good and sounds very good as well.

Frosty, the manifold will do you good in FI however we are finding that most cars need tuning after install. Ideally make sure the SSV is installed when the turbo/supercharger goes in and tune accordingly.
