Jeffvette and Locobob, you can get them ported and powder coated for a great price.

Just to be thorough, though, DRM has this option on their website, as does Marc Haibeck. DRM is around $2k, Marc advertised $2,800 though that includes the labor removing and reinstalling, plus tuning the car in person. Might be a little less if you mail the stuff, you'd have to ask him. They both include a ported TB as well as a tune (obviously a mailed tune if you ship your stuff to them).

Jeff and Bob sure have the bang for the buck though if you want just the plenum and IH's ported and you can get them powdercoated for a good price too. I assume you'd want to get a tune done somewhere afterwards, though.

As others have said there are some good choices for the upper P&P.

I did want to comment about you "sending the injectors off". There has been more than one person who has regretted spending the money to clean and calibrate them as opposed to replacing them. I imagine it can work out ok at times, but there have been enough stories of having to spend double the money to strongly consider replacing the bad ones from the get go.

I agree , with z factor . our injectors were designed before oxgenated fuel whicjh mess es them up I got rc s wasnt cheep but they are a good durable inj. I don't know about the accels which are 1/2 the price of rc but i haven't heard anything bad about them. But oem inj suck IMHO

I do intake porting Jim, here is some of my work: http://www.zr1netregistry.com/forum/...ead.php?t=1128

Jeffvette and I offer a package deal that includes intake porting and powdercoating the intake parts and cam covers for $1200. Let me know if you are interested or have futher questions.

P.S. Don't have the injectors cleaned - it just screws them up. Been there, done that, ended up buying a new set.

That is a really - really great deal on that package!
