Anyone ever get your plenum and runners ported by this guy? Seems like a good deal and looks like good work. Just curious if anyone has any experience with them.

Re: CorvettePlenum.com

He sells a lot of those off of ebay. I asked him a bunchof questions a while back about those plenums and from those conversations, he seems to know what he is doing and takes pride in his work. I plan on picking up a plenum from him as soon as i get some extra cash.

Re: CorvettePlenum.com

Thanks for all the responses guys. I've been emailing with him for a bit about getting some work done and he seems to know his stuff. Good to see others have had good results from his work. Will deff be sending him my stuff now.

Re: CorvettePlenum.com

His work does look good on their website.

I just bought a set of used SLP runners on e-bay and I am thinking this might be a good way to go before installing them on my car this spring. Those of you that responded that you had already had this work done, does this work well with this stock base or; does that need to be up-grade too? If so, what base did you use?

Re: CorvettePlenum.com

I used a TPIS bigmouth intake and slp runners.. I hand ported the runners to match the plenum and hogged out the intake side, then I hand ported the intake to match. I've got pics of this posted somwhere on this site if you wanted to search for them....

Re: CorvettePlenum.com

He seems to do decent work, although it really isn't too hard to do it yourself. TPI pleniums are extremely easy to port and polish. I just did one of mine not too long ago and I'm quite happy with the outcome. I did the outside too and it looks really good in my engine bay After I get the car up and running I'll post some pics up.
