Question Keep Kinetix or Switch to Cosworth?

For my 03 i've had for last 3 years the Kinetix Top 1/2 manifold which has been working pretty good, and i've got no complaints.

My question is after doing some research , and not really coming up with an answer.
Does the Cosworth really make much of a difference compared?
Is it a better product to get if i were to FI the Z at a later time?
Does it create more HP than the kinetix?(14hp normal 20 with exhaust work)

all in all is it worth getting??

the better question is can you find a cosworth...unless its used, be prepared for the wait of a lifetime

Is the wait to obtain a Cosworth Intake manifold worth it?

The wait is overrated if you know what vendor to purchase it from (most allocation). I only had to wait approx ~1.5 weeks to receive my Cos after ordering; the vendor was expecting a shipment and there were a few unspoke for--But expect to pay MSRP.

given your mods...no, I wouldn't bother. I also wouldnt bother with a Kinetix either though..a simple spacer would work just fine, but if you already are happy with what you have, just leave it alone
