Default interest in custom non turbo intake manifold

hey guys ill be switching over to a supra tt intake manifold prolly pretty soon and a buddy of mine that does some custom work with boring out intake manifolds and other things told me he would take one of my stock non turbo manifolds and bore it out for me so i could see if i get much of a hp difference so i figured i would take advantage of this before i get the tt manifold and if the findings were good id like to sell them to some ppl at my cost for others to benefit (ive only got 2 stock non turbo manifolds so those are the only two i would ever do) so if your NA-T and want some better flow or even if your non turbo and want to try it out just let me know if any one is interested and ill report my findings. if their good 2 lucky ppl will get their hands on them hah

i would prolly do 250 shipped its costing me around 75 each to get them bored out possibly more but i will also have them acid washed and bead blasted to ensure completely smooth surface no oils inside or out of the manifold and a professional look if you have any other questions please feel free to ask

i should have the first one done this weekend and i will be testing it out all week and ill let you know how it goes

a bored out intake manifold does nothing if you dont port match it w/ the head...

Hmmmm, if that were true, companies like Edelbrock wouldn't be the huge successes they are

Granted, port matching the head would be optimum, but you can get a lot more flow just cleaning up the intake.
