Default mental mod more than anything

Since i had the blower off already from sending out my inlet and ypipe to rob at needswings, i figured hey, lets take about 12 hours and extremely sore fingers and make another .1hp lol. Shouldnt be any performance gains really. All i did was smooth out the surface. Nothing to get a retune over. Just for better atomization. Happy new years gang.

I hope you are not removing the convex floor inside the runners as that makes more hp on this car than the flat ones, ,,I had a it done a few years ago, and the guy ground out the convex and made it concave, when installed i lost 27hp,,,went back all he could say is we do chevy's like that all the time,,, i said this is not a chevy and never will be. to be safe just take out the bumps ,,, good luck jim

just saw the other pic, again good luck.

nope. Everything remained the same as far as shape. I also stayed about 2 inches away from the bottom half. Wutever the stock dimensions are, they are still the same, just smoother.

sounds like u actually has urs ported out removing a good amount of material. I cant think of a reason u would lose hp doing that unless u didnt get tuned or retuned to accomadate the cfm increase.

yes. Ive only had the car about 6 months now. Shes in the garage for the winter. I ran her with just the NWDCAI and NW Supercooler on used g-force street tires and ran 12.79 with a 1.9 60ft. I later put the eurocharged 65mm SC pulley and got a tune for it and now she has waayyy to much power for those street tires. I was getting 13.1's and 2.1 60ft cuz she was spinning off the line too bad. I have a fresh set of ET Streets waiting to be used next spring.

It's already sold out Jim!! Don't you just love being able to run all year? lol. We stay away from April through September because of the heat. Funday Sunday is this weekend though, and a heck of a lot cheaper!
