Who's POLISHING MANIFOLDS?
 
I am looking for someone to polish my intake manifolds. I have seen a couple photos here of them finished and they looked great. I would normally tell someone to do it themselves but, I have no desire to stand in front of a buffing wheel for that long to do them. I used to be unable to look at a piece of aluminum without polishing it. But times seem to be changing.:rolleyes:
Thanks,
Mike

OOOh OOOOH OOOHHH Me. Of course Iam, just modified the Rob manifolds and now waiting for my buffer. Went on Ebay and spent like $280 to get a dual 10"er. The manifolds have to be polished so that they look as good as they work.

I have gotten all my TIGing done and just waiting for the polisher before I get them on the DYNO. I have an appointment to test the 185 improvement ( will be posting that soon too) and then go back for the manifolds to prove the gains that I promised Rob I could do. Gotten about 6 - 8 hours in the mods and cleanup so far and with a BIGGY buffer should be done in another 5-7 hours. Then well be showing the world after I let Rob have the first look. It should be good, and the bet was 40% more flow, pretty much got that in the bag, just need the data to show its proof.

If the MIR crowd remembers the last time I revealed the DUAL CAI set up but poor tire traction never showed the potential. I probably should find a better driver too...........LOL

Enjoy, Woody

All right Woody!! - with the proper tools it can be knocked out in no time. The shop that did all my engine polishing only charged me like $250.00

I think the shop lost money on the deal. The supercharger took a bit more time and detail work then they realized. (BTW their shop was a mess so you may want to mask off an area to keep all the crud from coating your shop.

Me go outside wearing fresh air hood (painters hood) Woody:p
Using a modified IBM disc drive motor (1/3 hp) I started to see what it could be when I get the real buffer. WW
