Re: everyone and anyone
is this stock tpi, if so you won't gain much by porting the base or runners. not much metal there. you can port the plenum yourself or pm this guy on cost

Re: everyone and anyone
Before you do your porting, have you made yourself aware of where and how it changes the torque band when you Siamese? You can also port the front and some of the interior of the top section. I went that route and have the entire TPI ported from end to end; plus it's match ported to the plenum and the intake and the intake is match ported to the heads. Reason for me: I want my engine to visually look as stock as possible.
Cost: More $$$ than the HSR system.
Results: It's all sitting on the new engine in the corner of the garage.

The two ebay items he listed are really nicely done; especially that Plenum! Only one bill? Heck ya!!! It's good enough to put a frame around and hang it on the wall!

Have you been looking at the 'For-Sale' board? all those parts are listed there used now and then for MUCHO cheaper than buying it done or having it done.

Now I've probably dampened your enthusiasm to get ready for the 30th. Nitro
