ShoSource Ported Intakes Comments?

[joshsquiresmi]

I was thinking about having ShoSource port my intake......any thoughts? If I do go that route I was going to do the stage 3. Anyone have any experience with this? I've talked to a couple people and they don't feel that it will really give me any major performance improvement. I do have to admit that having the tanks and everything painted sure is pretty!

Would getting the stage 3 be worth it? If so why? Or should I do like the stage one and just get it painted?

If you do it might as well go all out, go for the stage 3 and be done with it better airflow FTW..

Yea that is how I am feeling.....now if I was to go all out and do the stage 3, what other things could I do along with it that corresponds?

Is your car mainly stock?

 

[joshsquiresmi]

it's all stock right now....

 

[Vnuk1]

MTX or ATX?

Porting the intake's useless w/o doing the heads too , IMO.

 

[joshsquiresmi]

93 ATX.......who will port the heads? And after doing all this....whats the realistic gain?

I would match it with BBB's as well. The BBB's are good for 10hp above 4k. Porting/Extrude honing is good for around 10hp.

You could do the heads with a dremel tool and playdough.

Playdough?!

 

[ycode90]

stuff it in the port then cut away to keep aluminum flakes from getting in the combustion chambers. Best you could do is gasket match tho.

The ported intake is one of those mods that you don't see its full potential unless it is matched with BBB and gasket matching. I wouldnt recomend going crazy on the heads.....just use the gasket as a template to match them to the intake ports. If you search there are some pretty good write ups detailing the procedure.

According to Nick Chrimes, EH'd intakes are good for 3hp, and about 10tq. Matching it with heads, cams, BBBs, you'll have some noticable gains (I don't know the number). Or you could get an 05-09 Mustang GT, throw a JLT on it with a tune and gain 25whp .

Key point being the TUNE

All of these mods do very little, until you start playing with the A/F mixture.

yea i don't trust myself to do any kind of gasket matching with the head myself....lol

 

[ycode90]

Take your time **** use a rat-tail file go real slow.

Great idea on the Playdough! I was thinking of taping the inside or something... much better idea with the playdough

 

[joshsquiresmi]

you see my patience tolerance is negative 1,000,000 so I'd rather just pay someone who knows what they are doing to do it. lol
