Thats huge cfm out of that port, looks like theres plenty of epoxy work there. Time consuming
Guarantee that wasnt cheap but nothing good is.

Whats the price tag on a similar performing "MAMORAM" Intake with 400 + CFM of Intake Flow through You Jim ?

I know the best cost $$

Hogan custom fabricated intake made to my specs has me interested last few weeks for my 410 sbc.

I am no stranger to spending $$$ when time comes to do so.

I have $ 2K in custom made Titanium Manley Valves in my 1970 TA.
And another $5-1/2K in Custom made Crower Titanium Long Connecting Rods in my the same Pontiac V-8 engine.

PM' ing me is fine if you want prices kept confidential Jim.

Looks like Tony used the epoxy to reshape the floor of the runner. The radius was wrong on the bottom and needed to be reworked to match the AFR heads. Hard to tell from the pictures but maybe Tony used some epoxy in the plenum area to help shape the airflow.

Its actually a very Common problem.

Short turn radius is wrong right out of the box.

Cylinder heads and intakes.

Makes or break the entire airflow system within a Port.

Few head porters get it right.

Just how I know that Tony does know what hes doing 100 % with an intake or cylinder heads.

Close friend of mine in Joliet, Illinois. is a head porter and does intakes too.
He does many Renegade 5.0 cars.
Taught by one of the best in Chicago for 5 years working in a head porting shop day and night.
Hes damn good.
I know what he charges.
He earns every penny rightfully deserved.
Most Jaws would drop tonight with his prices listed.

I want to know what Jim- Tony charges.

From what I can see, they will deliver what they promise.

Money well spent by me then in my eyes.
