Atleast give the buyer the polished runners and ported intake..
Wouldnt cost much more, and would create a nicer package.

I feel like such a fool. When I sold all of my used, ported TPI stuff I only made a few hundred. When to think, all I would of had to do was put it on Ebay with a title like "the hottest thing since frenched fried fries for your TPI motor!!!" I coulda made bank!!!! Dammit!!!! I feel sorry for the sucker who actually buys that crap...I don't know about the rest of you, but that plenum is not even ported very well, I can still see the humps just behind the holes. I took those down in my old plenum...
