Ported/polished/coated manifolds
While doing some web surfing, I found a service offered on the Grimmspeed web page for porting/polishing/coating the manifolds for our SVX; http://www.grimmspeed.com/categories...rting-coating/. As an old school believer, this was a method of gaining better flow/heat control and hopefully more torque/horsepower. I don't know if it will provide performance gains on our engines but just wanted to let people know that it's available. The coating, for sure, will upgrade visual performance in the engine bay.

Re: Ported/polished/coated manifolds
This has been around for about 5 years. I fully support the grimms, but these cars need long tubes, porting won't help.

Re: Ported/polished/coated manifolds
It might do a little bit for performance, certainly would not hurt and would look sharp in the engine bay.
