With the winter months now here, and most cars are in storage, I'd like to offer up my services for inlet porting. I'm almost finished mine. I've also done Les's. His car has run the best times with this part ported as one of his many upgrades. I'm not going to compete with MP, but my port work is quite Large. A few guys have seen the one I'm working on, maybe they give me a plug.

Prices would be "cheap" and turnaround would be about week.
I think I have one core here, so if you would wanted to, we could swap cores, with the one I give you being ported.

Just thought I would pass that along to all out there.

If any one is interested in this, email, PM, or post here please.

Ryan,

You already know that I'm interested! We'll have to talk about what your service includes and how much it will cost me.

Best regards,

Sean

Sean, because I know of the "extra" parts you have kickin' around. I would suggest this is the best time for you to get me to open up the back of the charger to match the port on the inlet plenum. This would also lead to getting the old bearings out for you, which is no trouble at all. I know you have the new T-body, so I would match that end of the plenum to the T-body. Plus the set of "extra" I/C tubes you have I can open the ends open a little. Just the area that needs it. Now I'm not looking to get into any welding here(like I needed to on mine) so the port on the inlet would be able to withstand the use of every day driving or even the rips down the track we do. I'll send you a PM for the $$. Anything esle you might wanted ported. Manifolds can be done too.

Ryan,

Originally, I only wanted to deal with the porting of the inlet plenum to match the new TB, but you've peaked my interest in some of the other stuff too now. I sent you an email in response to your PM before I saw this post.

I may need to drop by with some of these parts so that we can get started soon!

Cheers,

Sean

Anyways, how much for the intake and blower porting, my blower is ported on top but not at the back yet.

Ryan,

I would strongly suggest you port the inlet core you have sitting around, and bring it to the "holiday" club dinner next month. This should give everone a chance to see your work, and make some advance orders.

Also....we can use it as a centerpiece.

We could plug the exit end of the plenum and drink beer from it!!! What do ya think??? :D ...Or Rye and Coke for those of us who don't much care for beer.

Cheers,

Sean

I've yet to see you drink a Rye and Coke Matteson.

I must owe you a drink at least....

Bill,

It's true. I don't drink often. However, when I do it's usually Crown Royal and Coke. I think I've had a drink or two at the Devil's Harp during a couple of our meets this past Summer?!

...And I'm pretty sure you were there both times. I guess you just didn't notice because at the time you were still pretty high on all that new-found power since we installed the new motor, MP II blower, etc. You were walking around like a new father with cute little baby pictures! ...Then BOOM! I blew up your head gaskets. DAMNED!

J/K.

Cheers,

Ryan did a great job on hogging out my inlet plenum when I did the 70mm Throttle body. I would recommend him anytime to do this job for club members.

Ryan is correct about a lot of work being involved in the porting of the plenum. I did my plenum and it took a week.

Ryan,

Thanks for stopping by today to grab my spare inlet plenum and lower IC tube. Hopefully, Jim Gravelle will read this message and be able to get you my spare upper IC tube ASAP!!! When I get a chance to get that blower stripped down, we'll take a look at matching the port on the back of the blower and stuff. I can't wait to get this stuff powder-coated and installed in the Spring. ...Then on to the track!!!

Cheers,

Sean
