OMG my sohc is FINALLY working, turned it on and its freaking GREAT, did 2 pulls, (Stanza ECU running EC4g custom ECU Bin THANKS DEVIOUSKA!! OMG *kiss* Works great) holy $hit it feels AMAZING, but my tuner said something about my manifold,

its a log style and in the way it was made he said that the tubes from Pistons 2 and 3 where too Misdirected, that there would be Backpressure and that it could melt my pistons sooner than expected because of the design.

So i saw many pros around here, so im gonna ask u guys who already have experience on the KAs

Whats ur opinion? will it melt? something? what?! my logic says that the flow will sort of disrupt but i dont have experience.....

looks fine to me. The log style is not optimal but I ran one (jgs) that was similar to that with no problems. I but close to 15K miles on it before I sold it and never "melted" a piston. If you are that worried put an EGT on.
