One thing I notice alot is that most guys who purchased are readers and not posters. Come in guys, participate

As some of you guys might already know this will be my last week taking porting orders. It was fun doing it and at the same time gruesomely painful LOL. I think I might of have got arthritis from this on both of my hands LOL! but on a serious note, is time to move on to my new project ;-)

I will still be here and still supporting you guys so if you need me you guys know how t get a hold of me

Just a little heads up. There's a few more review on the actual sale thread.

Thanks guys

Bmore,

Send me a PM and let me know what's up, the moving truck gets here on Friday and I'm off to California - wish we could have linked up while I was close.

Well how on earth do you want him to express his love .

Heart beats increase on low RPMs, then he gets some shivers at Mid rang, and things get serious on the 3rd gear.

4th gear he decides to get married .

I apologize for getting off topic a bit but I was wondering if anyone could tell me how difficult this would be to paint? I have one of these coming, hopefully soon, and would like to paint it. I looked for a diy thread but couldn't seem to find one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

Driving impressions.....with the 25mm and ported manifold car feels quicker off the line. around 1 to 2k no much of a dead spot. the car also sounds cleaner and when i was on a onramp i got in it a little and car felt like it had more torque and power.....next thing i want to do is a tune and the plenum spacer i would also like a cat back exaust to help with power

pretty easy, i took mine into the tub and scrubbed it down good with simple green and a scrub brush.

after it was dry, i masked off all the surfaces i didn't want to paint, and sprayed it with VHT engine paint, and baked it in the oven, came out great!!

Wow I should've done that. I wonder how it'll work with the spacers/insulator already installed.

This is exactly what we are looking for !

If you didnt lower your car with 1inch drop, please consider it.

Ive got the ported IM, the 25mm and the plenum spacer from mace. I love them all a lot! The best way of describing it is that the car feels lighter when I press on it. The motor idles quieter and now all I can hear is the exhaust, which is something I like. to me, people think it sounds better because it rips faster, you just get to the higher rpms a lot faster... Thats just what I think.
