Is it an option to have boost line ports pre-tapped?

tapping one nice sized vacuum fitting and attaching it to a vacuum manifold would be a nice idea. here's a pic of how I did it on my stock manifold:

nice

Philthy has headgames heads, ferrera valvetrain, JWT cams, and larger exhaust manifolds right?


I still gotta stand by my theory that aftermarket plenums/intake manifolds only really start gaining power when you get higher flowing cams, heads, or exhaust manifolds

yeah I'd bet money that an SSV would gain power over a crawford plenum if the car had higher flowing cams, heads, valves, and exhaust manifolds.

I couldn't say if it'd do as well as the cosworth - I'd guess probably not quite as well, but for 3/4 the price and half the weight, it's probably not a bad option for people who run less than 15 psi who have some combination of higher flowing cams/heads/valves/exhaust manifolds
