You could talk to Bob @ MAP about porting the manifold a bit, he does some great work to the Evo manifolds.

Umm, the CSVT all ready came from the factor with an exude honed intake manifold, this was one of the many differences between it and a standard 2.5 Contour. Correct me if I am wrong, but once the manifold was allready honed, there would be little to no gains by repeating the process?
He has a Tarus 3.0 block with Escape 3.0 heads, IIRC he used the lower manifold off the Escape and the regular 2.5 CSVT upper. He had the lower extrude honed and ported and extrude honed the upper too. He gained a few lb/ft of torque, but for the money he paid he said he just should have spent it elsewhere.
Since you're going to be spending a lot of money on the car you might as well just get an aftermarket. Then you never have to worry about upgrading again. Just my .02 cents.

You could use a 2g head and an evo3 intake manifold. That would be a perfect combo for an evo3 16g.

^^that's not a bad idea. I have a spare 2g head, it will prob find it's way on to my car.

Yeah that would be a perfect combo. You could also get some evo3 cams too. :)

Is everyone jumping on the 2g head bandwagon now?
I am kind of surprised... But you do have the higher compression pistions.
That should be a good combo. 8.5 compression, 272hks cams with 2g head E16G FTW!

2g head is right up there with Auto swaps and such.
