| Just letting everyone know, Wbodystore is having a pretty nice sale on blower porting for $129 for outlet & $199 for inlet/outlet.
A nice deal actually - they say it's only going on for a few days so git er dun!
I'm so mad I can't do it right now but I hope someone else can take advantage of this. | |

| Don't get too upset. I've done my own with a dremel and about $30 in sanding wheels etc. It's not overly hard, merely time consuming. | |

| damn you Aaron... I went ahead and bought the V3 ported kit (inlet and outlet).
Also got an aluminum LIM gasket and supercharger gasket for the GF's regal. They are less than 1/2 price than what I would pay here at GM list -20% ... Crazy | |

Not easily. Using flap and drum sanders as your main tools, things move slowly. Even an unsteady hand can do a good job with time and patience. Here's an example and my first try at porting/polishing anything. In the future I wouldn't polish it quite as nicely, it doesn't help much versus smoothing the majority of roughness. Warning..some hoser took the largest and most detailed pics he could.. | |

| I hope everything goes well with this sale because they shipped my gaskets to me seperately with ups. I suspect I will have to pay a 50$ brokerage fee to pick up a 9$ gasket. I asked them to write that the item was a warranty return on the package... I hope they did. | |

| Well, I FINALLY got my ported blower. I paid a premium of 100$ for a core, and it still took 5 weeks.
Now to install it. I was just installing my copyright infringing SLP knock-off headers... I'll comment on those in another post when I'm done. Here is a sneak preview: the stock downpipe is garbage ! | |
