Well throttle bodies are accepted as providing some gains, and I need to port the manifold anyway, so why not polish and port it more while it's out? Not really money to blow, it's relatively cheap.

Anybody remember the guy who had his intake manifold flow benched after he had all runners ported and equally optimized? I can't remember his name, I just remember he was irritated because he made no power and spent all of the money on it (I believe he was N/A though). I think he ended up selling it...

That is awesome. Was it ported/polished? Or just coated? Please take pictures. How much was it?
And the one you said you have FS, is it like this one, or stock? Thanks a lot!

Ok here is basicly the whole story... i blew my motor so i bought a new (4miles) 2.2 so that one is the mani off my 2.0 which is going onto my 2.0. So i end up with a extra one...... niether is ported or polished but the coating is as stated above " is actually a coating used on airplanes that disperses head some were around 1.7-1.8" also i am doing the hondata gasket at the same time.
So i am going to try to pull as much head out of it as i can to make more power.... think it will yeild better resoults then porting or polishing....
Last it is a airplane coating that i canget done through some one i know but it is not super cheap.... but i could get it done and sell it to you completed

I'm still slightly confused. PM me if you can get it done for me, otherwise PM me the price you'd like for the already-done manifold for 2.0L if you aren't keeping it. Thanks a lot, it looks great.
