Re: Porting services
Wow, nice work. Reminds me of the port work needed for stock DSM/EVO3 manifolds which I still do myself. I'm surprised GM leaves that much on the table these days, although I bet the Z06 ones are better, or maybe not.
BTW, anybody hear of extrude honing anymore? That looked promising when it came out, but I haven't heard of it for a while.
Also, does this guy just do coating? I want all my hot parts done this winter.

The Z06 manifolds are made from cast stainless steel instead of cast iron, but the dimensions are identical.
Extrude honing came and went. It was more expensive and less precise than porting.
He does, but MAP still offers coating which is why I did not mention it.

Very! His coating is what's really low-priced, but he uses a legit brand, so we'll see how it holds up.

Re: Porting services
Turk (TheDogfather) just sent his LT1 throttle body and intake manifold to this guy for porting so we'll see how it compares vs. the others already on the market for the C7/gen6. His prices, once again, are beyond reasonable at only $40 for the throttle body and $200 for the intake manifold. The intake manifold is within the average range, but his throttle body is crazy cheap vs. others at $150-350.
***promo prices, retail prices TBD***

Re: Porting services
Amazing work! Can't wait to see what he will do with the Intake Manifold. I just now need to find take off stock tri-y headers and I will be golden haha.

Can't beat a turnaround time of 1-day for a TB/IM combo!

Re: Porting services
We got the above pictured TB & IM installed; mucho impressedo. Perfect start-up and idle right off the bat, zero ECU relearning was needed to settle the idle down which is very rare with ported throttle bodies. No odd behavior or noises, and the car pulls perfectly smooth throughout the entire rev range with the stock tune! It sounds like an absolute beast on the dyno too.

He didn't do a stock baseline, but running craptastic Oklahoma Love's travel stop 91-octane he put down 364whp/395wtq @ Cobb on their Mustang. To compare, my Vette put down 386whp/406wtq stock running quality 93 on the same dyno.

Re: Porting services
Here's a local coater worth checking out.
http://www.newimagecoatings.com/
http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...post1591794688
He did a set of C7 long tube headers for only $225. This is the same coating I used on my Evo X downpipe and exhaust manifold. I would not recommend it for a turbo manifold or housing, but it is very durable on N/A and supercharged headers, and turbo o2 housings, downpipes, etc.
