Hello,,Has anyone done any type modification to a V10 intake manifold,,I have heard some improvements can be made to it,,would love to hear of them,,Thanks to all that may chime in on this

 

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

 

This spring when I plan on fixing the valve cover gasket leak am curious about sending the manifold out to get extrude honed.If it's even worth it though...??

 

could you explain what that type of honing will do to the manifold,,and what kind of cost will this be??thanks

 

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.......

 

Thanks for the info on honing,,Does anyone know where something like this could be done,I have a spare intake that I could send out

 

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.

 

sounds great,,I will look into this!!

 

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.
