ya, cant just do the upper.... that would be like throwin on a huges set of heads and using stock cam LOL.......... ive seen the inside of the typhoon intake before, and there was alot of chunks of metal that wernt shaved off, and they looked like they could come off with just touching it with my hand, anyone every worry about the metal chunks fallin? it could happen, but doubt it i suppose

With an aftermarket intake on a NA car you just want to clean up the casting flaws

MM&FF used to recommend getting the intake Extrude Hone ported by an outfit that pumps an abrasive slurry through it which does a much better and smoother job than trying to port it by hand. try google and see if you can find them.
