Could do some port matching, that sure wouldn't hurt.... of course, that would require yanking the heads to do a complete job.....

It's basically a abrasive putty that is forced under pressure thru what ever and cleans/deburrs/smooths . It can reach every nook.

I could see how extrude honing could indeed give you better performance. Not like you need turbulence in the runners to keep the fuel in suspension.... (as there is no fuel in the runners....) Combine that with some porting/port matching, and you could prolly pick up a few ponies.

Would it be noticeable in and of itself? Doubt it, but, it would most certainly help any other mods you do work better. Combine doing that with a good, free-flowing exhaust system, and I would expect THAT would be noticeable.

Trouble is, there isn't much of a market for aftermarket performance parts for the 8.0 any more.......

have to check around your area. Not everyone does it.... but, if there is a local machine shop, and they don't do it, chances are good, they will know someone that does.

I already picked up a Fastman throttle body and installed it. Have the Mopar Performance PCM and a set of headers waiting to go on once we are out of winter.
