seriously you need to get skunk2 to endorse your car because your intake/head setup basically has skunk2 written all over it

cant wait for dyno #'s

Thats still pretty rough, I did my intake manifold runners with 180 grit and inlet with 320. I used the crosshatch I was talking about, I realize the head is totally different story as it has to atomize fuel, curious if anyone knows what grit you could go to without worrying about fuel issues.
This was the first time I have done any port work, so I just used the rolls that came in the kit I have and the finest grit was 80. I may have been able to use 120 without making the intake ports too smooth but I'm not going to worry about that now. The pics make the ports look a lot rougher than they really are. They look like the flash reflected off of every crosshatch line. I am by no means a flow guru, I just wanted to smooth out the casting marks, but any advice for future projects would be appreciated .

LOL, it literally does have Skunk 2 written all over it . Now, if I could only get my hands on one of their prototype sequential headers that they were supposed to produce forever ago.

Ah thats cool, at least your willing to jump in there and do it. I'm sure if you talk to someone that does them a lot you could find out what a good grit would be, like I said I'm not sure how high you can go with aluminum, I'm curious.

-Do the port work prior to having new seats installed, it's less nervous that way.
I ruined a set of valve seals on a V8 head doing it the other way around, had machine work done then did the porting Good thing V8 stuff is cheap haha

It's a straight up copy of the Hytech.
