Ported intakes

RAMM said

I am just giving what I see as friendly $$$ saving advice. Your stuff runs 9's which is what I would consider a serious looking for that last bump in HP build--You also posess a flowbench as do I. Most of the world doesn't. When a customer asks me for intake porting and I quote him $1200-$1500 for a cut and weld job-most decline. I've also done it for EMC testing and often the AVG power gain is nil or negative.

I'll give you a break--put me on ignore so you don't see my posts. J.Rob

When I stopped porting for others I was charging 150-200.00 to port intake manifolds. That included flow testing bolted to their heads. Yes I have seen before and after testing done on the track where it counts and never had a customer that wasn't pleased with the results. I didn't cut them apart and unless it was an intake like the LD340 there wasn't a location on the intake I couldn't work on. In most cases with the intake bolted in place on the head and flow tested I would see a 3-10 cfm loss (max) instead of upwards of 40 plus cfm on some intakes. I used to enjoy cranking up my favorite CD in the shop and sitting there porting. Now not so much but I hope to again in the near future.
