1G extrude honed intake, any info/opinions?

[JET]

I would say $50 is the break even point too. I don't think it even produced 10hp more than a stock one when it was tested. I don't remember the hp of the car, but it was probably low 300's or so.

Julian has a magnus SMIM for sale, he is asking $400, but I think you can talk him down....

[scheides]

I dunno if a SMIM is the way to go on a 16g car though, has anyone ever done this with good results?

Aaron, what's the biggest cam you can run on your current setup? I'd honestly look in that direction before doing much else, you are making such good power already it's just scary.

Another way to look at it: you're already making wicked power. Are you ready for this? *gasp* leave it alone and keep kicking ass & taking names ;)

^lol. Its true I probably should.
I am not sure what to do. Part of me wants to try the HX35 route, but part of me wants to stay the same and figure out the small flaws in my setup.
We will have to see how things fall into place, if parts are available when I am looking then we will see.

I wouldn't touch a thing if you're making 400whp on a 16g. Drive it and enjoy it.

Anywho actually you are right, i need to find a way to keep the car as it was with more top end, so I am for sure gonna change out the cams and suspension, that along with some driver mod should get the car past the 11.49 requirement for a cage and maybe some more mph.

[JET]

I would do cams and SMIM, but keep the rest the same for the engine stuff. At 400hp a SMIM will give you some decent gains. Toss some FP cams in there too.

I'd personally say stay away from a SMIM on a 16G street car. Get some hotter cams, gasket match/port the stock IM, and call it good.

[turbotalon1g]

yeah I am in the air about a SMIM for the car, I think I was saying to scheides on my car it would be $450 for maybe a 10-15hp gain, but the key would be that the gain would be up top where 1. the car really needs it and 2. where I really want it, hopefully some more nuts out there will do a SMIM on a 16G car and I will see if its worth it.

[Goat Blower]

I don't know if I'd bother either at 400whp. The cams coming out though keep getting better.
