Jon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Looking at having my LS3 manifold ported. From what I remember reading there are some gains to be had there instead of buying a FAST. The question is who do I go with? I bought a FAST 90 once that looked like garbage. It was supposed to be ported and it looked like a one armed blind man did the porting while tripping on mushrooms. I'm also thinking about putting Pfadt tri-y headers on it if I do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe@cpr.com Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I have a spare ls3 Manifold I will get ported we will do the same type of testing as the other car that was modded. If it picks up power you pay for the porting, if it doesn't we will swap your stock one back on. Regardless though you will be responsible for paying for dyno time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe@cpr.com Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 $100 is what the shop next to me charges, they are super cool with me doing testing like this so it works out the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 $100 is what the shop next to me charges, they are super cool with me doing testing like this so it works out the best. So $400 total? On a totally unrelated topic, do you guys do fab work? I'm thinking of picking up that Precision 7675 from Nic and slapping it in my 2011 2500HD.

joe@cpr.com Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 You are correct jon. since you would be a test car for a stock vehicle there will be no manifold install charge. also we partner w/ a great group of guys who do some crazy awesome fab work, i won't say on here who it is but parker know's who i'm talking about and will vouch for their work ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm dying to see the results..... Me too! It's looking like the dyno isn't going to be available until the 31st. Hopefully they can fit me in first thing as I work that evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
