I am currently watching the video linked in post #19.
I have heard of the core shift issues, and have also understood that some are better than others.
I wholly agree with something mentioned early in the video;
I think it's great that TPP is making a bunch of these unique Pontiac parts.
What I don't get is why they can't(?) insist on better QC from their suppliers;
In the context of these aluminum intakes, I would think that even though these were patterned after a factory part, (I would think at least that) they could have actually made them better.
If an area is identified as being too thin, beef it up;
If ports are obviously out of line, would it be too hard to get them at least closer?
