so as you know i destroyed my current 1g head but now i cant decided whether to build another 1g head or go with the "better" 2g head for better velocity which will help with low end power.

reasons for going with a 1g head are
I get to keep my nice powder coated and extrude honed 1g intake mani
Bigger ports mean more overall air flow.

my concerns for going to a 2g intake are it becoming a restriction in the near future, its ugly and not powder coated (lol)

I've done a bit of research and still cant decide what to do

I was in the same boat a few months ago & decided to stick with the 1g for 2 reasons. First, it was cheaper since I already have the smim....& two, I doubt any gains would be big enough to justify the cost @ my performance level & purpose........oh yeah, plain laziness to do the swap was also a factor.

I voted 1G but just so you can use the sweet new Magnus cast 1G intake manifold.
