Powder coated pictures of my plenum. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Torchred96 · 01-12-2012

I obviously have some downtime while awaiting my parts. Being color blind, I asked the guy for all his silver colors and then used the eenie meanie miney moe method and was a little worried, but I think it came out okay...certainly better than it was. Sorry about the size, I'm not the most computer literate.

Good Job

Thanks guys, I was blown away. I brought him a few hunks of greasy metal complete with porting chips scattered about.. IH, plenum, coolant pipe and throttle body (disassembled). Not exactly prepped by me..I expected there would be some flaws, and there probably is, but i haven't noticed any yet.

Here's his information from google, which is how I found him: His name is Carlos. Very nice person to do business with.

Look great!
Turn 'em over, Turn 'em over
Let's see the porting work!

Torchred96 · 01-12-2012

Ok tf95, I was lookin to show you what I had done professionally...the ports were done by me, fortunately they don't show.

Now that is great looking!

Nice work for sure! They will look great on your motor. (shameless plug for Carter here

) Carter's engraving on the coolant pipes and his T/body billet plate would complete the picture!

Sorry for the way I spend other people's money, but Carter's stuff is icing on the cake for an LT5!

just look!

Your plenum came our really good- I think you worked them deeper than I did. Most of my arthritic inducing work was spent on the I/H's.
