And Alrighty then what do we have left....

Intake manifold. So again this is an area where a lot of guys just don't get it. They want a big hp engine and their uterus falls out when someone quotes them $1500 to port an intake.

NEWSFLASH

$1500 isn't even going to come close to supporting a 1100-1200 hp engine with a single 4 cast intake. Truth is theres a ton of time in this. I'm fortunate in that john and i are friends and he didn't charge me too much extra for me to "help". I have more time in mine than i thought it would take him. And he had a bunch more time in it than me.

You're looking at $4000 maybe more either way cast or sheet. Its what it is.

If you put a $1500 ported victor on my engine I suspect you would watch 150-200 hp disappear.

And no its not all cut into a hundred peices and welded back together......lol.
