Joe:
Thanks for that perspective. I'm getting a Spitfire ready
for Street Prepared autocross, so am looking at inexpensive
ways to increase the go-factor. Maybe a single sidedraft
is not the way to go.
I've done some research on-line, but kind of feel like I'm
flying solo on an overall performance and modification
strategy. If anyone had any thoughts, or was at all
interested in corresponding, that would be great. Thanks,
Dave.

Dave,
In my humble opinion there is no "GOOD" single DCOE manifold for a
1500 (or 1300) Spitfire engine. This is because of the mismatched
port arrangement of the 8-Port head and the DCOE. The problem is
that the inside two tubes are much shorter than the outside two.
The result is that the inside two cylinders cannot be tuned to match
the outside two.
Regards,
Joe
