Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!

Well, I couldn't leave well enough alone

I sent the stock intake manifold core in to Fasterproms in Florida for them to do their thing on it.





Porting is always tough to judge in pictures, but I'm very happy with the craftsmanship and finished product. The inlet and runners were all enlarged to gasket size, the vacuum/draft tube was removed, and all edges/lips were smoothed. This is what I would consider to be a "stage 1" level of porting, kind of like a Buschur intake manifold vs. a MAP Rev2 & 3. WeaponX (I have their ported throttle body) offers what I consider to be the stage 2 & 3 levels of porting, but for my plans the additional expense wasn't justified IMO.

I have a buddy coming to town from Arkansas next weekend to pick-up his Evo X build from Cobb so while he's here we're going to get some wrenching time in and install this manifold. Once I get the retune finalized, I plan to dyno again at Cobb since that's where I did my stock baseline at, then call my setup good for the year and just enjoy the hell out of the car!
