you get what you pay for.
my number 5 and 6 runners needed about a quarter inch taken off the inside of the ports on the upper intake side, not the head side.
it took a couple of hours to port it, but overall I should have just bought the edelbrock one, or the trickflow.
after a year my side cover is leaking oil and a slight vacuum leak.
had to use helicoils for all the lower bolt holes.
they stripped easy at only 24 ft/lbs.

I thought it was an okay intake for the money but I like the Trick Flow better.

Wow sorry about that, I assume you mean the holes in the lower part for the bolts to the upper part. Did the instructions say to torque to 24ft/lbs? I would have assumed 16 to 18 as the max for that size bolts in Aluminum.

thanks, as for pulling threads out, there is no reason to that they would other than cheap metal. The fact that the ports are up to a 1/4 inch off shows that they just ripped off a design and did little to check how far that they were off.

I hear ya twister. I guess I should give it some more thought and then make my decision. Any one else had a problem with this intake, or w/ professional products all together?
