as you say.  good source for specs in their "historical" department.

No, they have a 2 pc manifold, 5-2-1 setup which looks just about as
good, though I have not measured the combined area of those two outlets
versus the 4kq's three yet.

> If not, could I bolt a 4000Q downpipe and manifol in place of the 80Q setup?

To the head, surely.  Whether it will fit in an 80/90Q or not is unknown
to me but probably possible.

use the type 89 (80/90), its more solid, and a nicer car.  Unless you
are going for every hp/lb you can get, then use the 4kq, it's lighter!
