Both the TB (intake) side and runner (exhaust) side have been ported.

The throttle body side can accept a stock, 52mm or 58mm TB which is what I was using. Both of the runner sides have been SIAMESED.

Let me know if I'm not being clear to post a few more pics.
Thanks for the interest.

Thats what you said, which is only one side.same for the plenum so which is it?I'm interested in both the plenum and/or runners cuz of pricing. I just want to make sure an actual gain will be had. Do you have some better pics. Those you have dont tell much about the plenum

So one pair of runners are ported and the other as-cast

You were first talking about the plenum; you didn't mention the runners, that's why I got confused. Sorry.

Let me explain about the runners:

The runners are often siamesed on the plenum side to "shorten" the runner length to let the engine breath easier. Most people do this only on the plenum side to keep the "tuned" effect from being affected.

To give you an example of how well engines respond to this kind of porting, my car gained practically 5 tenths on the 1/4 mile just with the plenum and runner porting job back in 2005.
You can read the story on the link below, reply number 17:

Let me know if you have any further questions.
Pictures of both runners and plenum are on the link below my signature

What I'm trying to explain is plain and simple, my car reacted to the plenum and runner poting modification with a 4.8 tenths improovement in the quarter mile. The overall performance of my car has nothing to do with this. I'm not even going to argue that. The individual gain or improvement on any car, will vary significanly due to so many diferent factors. I'm not even sure if your car would benefit from using these parts. That is something you have to decide and take your chance like everyone else here.

I recomend you to do a search on the subject, and then decide if you want my runners and plenum or not.

I don't have my camera with me right now, but if you are kind enough to wait, I will upload more pics to my webshot's page.

I'm trying to do an honest sale based on facts here, I don't really have time to be persuading anyone. These parts will sell because of what they are and not so much because of what I say about them.

Thanks again.
