    V6 Manifold Porting

    I did some searching but couldn't find any info. I've heard that porting factory manifolds can give similar power as JBA's. Anyone have experience doing this? I would like to try it and then do a dyno run.... thoughts?

    I've heard that for the cost of porting it you might as well buy the headers.

    I do admit the headers are pretty cheap. The biggest advantage to factory manifolds are they fit like a glove. Can anyone chime in on the quality of the JBA's?

    Scott w/Hammer automotive told me that the factory manifolds could be bored/grinded out to produce same/if not more air flow.
    Scott has NOT personally done this, but I respect his opinion greatly.

    I would hope a flash, jba's, cai, and exhaust would give more than 5 hp. If not why bother....... the only way to prove these mods out is a dyno.

    No, he means that with all the other mods that he has already besides the Headers, a 5hp gain that may be produced by the headers wouldn't be very noticeable.

    Didn't someone dyno the car before and after the headers?
