Sometimes folks will ask what's the most bang for the buck mod I can install on my Max. Before I always said a full suspension upgrade due to the crappy stock suspension, even though it cost more than most intake or exhaust mods. But the payoff is ten times worth it
Yes I did the smoothing, enlarging, and port matching my self, no flow bench machine just my eyeball and a inside micrometer. I can't remember the exact mumber I enlarged the ports to but 1.75" sounds close, and I'm refering to the ports between the intake manifold and plenum. I think the OEM ports where between 1.65"-1.68" so I played it safe on the larger size. I wanted to do the port between the head and intake manifold but choice not to without the proper equipment. I decided to do the port enlarging because if the performance was totally screwed up, I would have just slap back on the OEM manifolds because this was a spare set I did the enlarging on. To be honest I didn't feel a big difference but yet a slight difference was felt. It kinda felt the way I did when I installed the UDP, nothing too surprising. While most VG and VE owners were posting a big difference when they installed the UDP. Keep in mind I also have a auto, and a mod for mod will change between the two tranny's
