Still haven't seen anyone log temps like me or making 1000 plus on a 8.3 lower and 3 inch upper they are all using 9.xx and 10 something to make 1000.

OK. I understand what you were saying now. You are completely right. Edelbrock was just choking those rotors. It's good there's a resource to correct that though. It probably doesn't make a big difference at my power level, but surely does at yours. I just wanted to be clear Magnuson did a disservice to themselves by saying Stage 2-port, even though there's no Stage 1, and that all the 2650s (in this application) are cast the same and sent out with the same case. I think, as far as you are putting it out there, asking for comparisons as you are require someone to have the same combination as you, which isn't too practical to expect. I get your point, but I don't know that trying to expect an apples-to-apples comparison is going to happen. At this point, it's probably a dead horse. Plenty of shops are getting more than 1100-WHP our of either, so does it matter that much? I still believe there's an edge to the Maggie, but I don't care enough to convince anyone else. I don't have a horse in the game.
