Be interested to know your thoughts on the the COME ttb manifold after you have run it.. Had one on my stroker for a while but have now changed to a COME single plane. The plug read was terrible with the ttb, lean at the front to rich at the back, but it did go ok. My combo is similar to yours with a bit more compression. It's not running again yet but not too far off.
