How much you charge for porting a hotside like that or porting in general?

hey chip, sounds good man i forgot you knew them. I will def have some questions for you. are you going to be at victory tomorrow? i think i remember reading you couldnt come out. I am just interested in knowing about there work. everything appears top notch and never heard a single bad thing about them. looking into possibly getting the 02 dump and theres seem like the highest quality product. thanks for the heads up.

I have work so i won't be at Victory.
So far every JMF part i put on my car has been top notch and has actually worked unlike a lot of other vendors stuff. The exhaust mani's & o2 housings are amazing and are the best thing they make imo. It's a shame you won't get to see the o2 dump once you put it on cause its a real nice piece. There stuff is expensive compared to some other vendors especially when buying direct but the workmanship that goes into each piece is worth it to a lot of people. If you search around and wait for a sale there is a couple vendors (MAperformance) who will sell the stuff for a good price or you can wait until JMF's next Open house in the spring and probably get 20% off like they did a few months back. There moving into a new shop this week and are planning another open house in the spring.
It seems running an o2 dump can run into fitment problems and i don't personally know anyone who is running a JMF one but it seems like a consensus on most dumps. The dump pipe comes very close to the housing & lower intercooler pipe from what I've researched. I'm sure JMF would work with you if you did have any problems. They really stand by their products.

Here are a few pics i took recently at a show. I would love to have one of there tubular mani's, FP green, and o2 dump's down the road.

Thats my plan next year!

Chip is right on about the dump pipe and licp thing. No one has been able to resolve that issue as there are no industry-adopted configuration for licp design, so depending on what you have, you risk the chance of fitment. However, vendor know that, and they will owrk with you to resolve the issue. o2 dumps are badass

Still not sure about my attendence this morning... I haven't gotten my car back yet (not that this is the main factor) and I'm up to my neck in house work.

Hopefully I'll make it down...

petey, thanks for the info on jm fab. seems like a good bunch of guys.

since your the local guru, whats your opinion on the 02 dumps? i think i remember you saying you didnt like them a while back. also i think they may be overkill for a stock turbo and am really concerned about fitment with a licp.

also, i remember you saying sometin bout getting wider front fenders. whats you opinion on +18 f +38 rear vs running 38 all around with a 20mm spacer. there still gona sit the same way i would think, but just difference between spacer or not.

anyone know how long or hard it is to install a aem afr ? jus gota weld a bung for the 02 and mount right up correct?

ben i cant get over how nasty your car is. sound so mean. and that X there was loud as **** pulling out haha

^^^Spend the money and get a good, new clutch. Its a lot of work to install one, so you don't wanna do a used one and have to do another in a few thousand miles.
