is there anything you can do to the stock intake manifold w/o taking it to the machine shop to port and polish??? i want an aftermarket one but don't have the money yet, i've 100 percent cleaned all the carbon out and was wondering if there was just anything I COULD DO to squeeze another pony out of the intake

if you have a dremal you cant port and polish it your self....

you would be amazed at the difference a little timing advance and match port the intake to the heads really cheap and pretty simple

on the port matching do i use the dremel? and on the timing advance w/ 92 octane fuel. what should it be close to degree wise?

dremel is fine also make sure you match your gaskets and ive heard of around 14 to 17 degrees i run at 14 but its all about how yours likes it

alot of people are running 14* timing.... but my car hates it.. but you can try it.. yes on the dremal.. that little tool works wonders

gearbanger

you beat me to it lol

how do i keep metal shavings out of the heads? or do i do the gasket match to the heads?

if your going to port the heads on the car its simple make sure what ever cyl your working on is at tdc before you start make sure port is clean and dry that way metal wont stick and when your done just blow it out make sure u have all other ports taped off while working and how ever you want to match port them you just want your intake to have no lips just nice constant flow and you dont have to polish the intake that much it is not that important
