spring/summer alot more ppl with times. im really looking forward to then cause up here we got snow. im hoping for mid 11s this summer but i keep putting it off and off cause i want this and that and this and that. well if i do this then i might do that and etc...its never ending. hell i thought about if im pulling hte motor to do a Kmember and oil pan why not just go larger...lol

hey guys, you see how my new manifold has a really rough texture in the runners... should i polish that with some sandpaper to help air flow?


a friend told me that theres no point because carbon buildup will cause a rough texture on it anyway after 1000 miles or so... Should i even bother?

they dont look to rough, but if they do feel a little rough, it might be worth doing a quick job.... .... and to do motor mounts all i had to do was jack up the engine at the oil pan, using a block of wood obcource, and just take out each mount one at a time, i found the passenger side to be the hardest.... driver side too like 20 minutes

thanks for the reply, and yea the inside of the runners is really rough, i bet i could get 3-4 more HP just from polishing the inside of this beast...


does anyone know of an effective way to do this, ive been sitting on this one runner with some sandpaper for like an hour and its getting smoother but taking so long. what is there to make this polish job easier?

Quik

yea its called a die grinder with sandpaper rolls. DONT make them to smooth, too smooth will effect badly, and seeing 3-5 is going to be hard really

Dbeck002

why is too smooth bad?

Quik

something with how the and fuel mix. back in january i made a thread with a link about having stock type manifords ported. its theory works for all intakes. i just know from reading and hearing that too smooth has bad effects on peformance

Dbeck002

the fuel doesnt mix in the plenum with EFI though, its shot right over the intake valve, i dont understand why smoother wouldnt help airflow.

Quik

smooth is good but too smooth is bad, you dont want them to be glass smooth at all. look at any professionaly done product it still has some texture to it
