Some people claim good results just ripping the runners out and running without them, but IDK how great it is to screw up the turbulence that much.

 

hv3 inserts are very nice and give a little more power. as far as ripping them out on a N/A engine i would say dont do that, it needs even displacement etc now on turbo monte i dont have the runners in it because of all the boost it dont matter. just my opinion...

 

Yes the ones in the UIM
I kinda figured they would get gunked up again so I just scrubbed them a little haha. HV3 will be a future mod, along with some other stuff
I managed to get a lot of stuff painted today though including my Valve covers. I didn't have time to get pics so I'll update with pics tomorrow
My work schedule sucks! Lol that's mostly why this is taking forever but I've been driving my uncles Roush F150 in the meantime so I can't complain haha

 

I'm sure taking them out would affect something lol
Def. getting an HV3 in the future, now that I'm going to have a somewhat fresh motor to work with haha

 

I've read the same info too. Tough to say how good/bad it really is not knowing anyone who has done it personally OR anyone who has dyno-ed results.

 

Well, here's some pics of where I'm at after some painted stuff im getting so close to being done!



Painted Tstat housing mikes (chibi) suggestion lol
I shouldve sanded down the cast marks but oh we'll haha



Cleaned Oil pan, so will I be ok using black RTV or should I use the red one?



And after a while of wanting one, I finally got it Brand New
