My focus is always on the street CIS engine and the typical bolt-on mods done by the majority of 930 owners. The test engine is strapped down to 0.7bar boost and a K27-7200 turbo. I may raise the boost to 1.0bar to better test the waste gates. Doing that will require a WUR adjustment though, which takes time and will soil the test. No more apples to apples.
On a related note I am developing a header for the 930. It will be sized appropriately for the mid-range HP CIS engines and has short equal length primaries with thort equal length secondaries. I have not seen any other like it on the market that are not custom. Pelican may pick it up with the rest of my line.

I am glad you are developing short equal length headers. I don't think B+B did anything magic in their design. They just made the headers as short as possible. We all want that elusive perfect header, more power, less weight, good price and long lasting welds...
In a bad economy, I believe people will try a lesser known product if it costs less than B+B and has a similiar power effect. Especially if the welds last longer. Look at how many people bought GSF/OBX products, and those are essentially a crap shoot in some people's opinions.
