Lets not see things so black and white people. What about that whole grey area of unequal length runner manifolds, which as a conservative estimate accounts for atleast 75% of all custom manifolds.
Some people are way to harsh on log style manifolds. Like most all things shit in = shit out, Eg. Shit design/execution = shit manifold and vice versa. Hence a well designed and crafted log style manifold will do very well indeed.
I know this is very vague, but it is far bigger subject than which style is better or being able to put a specific power value on a specific type of manifold. The arguement must take into account the different designs and executions of log and tuned manifolds on a case by case basis.

Log manafolds work ok for what they are, if your after a cheap easy power upgrade they are perfect, if your chasing every last bit of power then a divided manafold will work better but at a higher cost!, personally i havent seen a tuned length manafold make any improvments over a non tuned length manafold,
the biggest part of making a manafold is getting the runner size correct, go too big and it will kill the power and spool up,
we have made manafolds for starlets and 4age's that are not tuned length but divided all the way to the turbo and they are all making good power! one starlet is making well over 140kw atw on 16psi, and the 4age is making 186rwhp on 11psi, both have nice size turbos which is also a very critical part.
if any one is in sydney and needs the faces machined let me know my uncle has a head shop and can do all that stuff.
