Default What are these numbers printed inside the intake runners on the head?

I think the other side was 7, 7, 8 from front to back if I remember correctly.

Default I port matched mine when I had the heads off...

...and didn't notice a single difference in power or fuel economy (same thing Mance found if I recall correctly). Grinding for a couple hours with a cordless Dremel was fun though.

Yes but P&amp;P your IM does make a difference, and I plan to have Extrude Hone do my heads.

Could be related to the casting ID, or date of casting the IM, or whatever. Not important.

Mostly just made me curious. Has anyone else seen these? Same numbers as mine, or different?

I'm curious to hear your results. Are you going to dyno before and after?

Default I will definately dyno before/after the heads...but what I'd really like to do...

Is return my intake to as stock as possible and do a run, and then a comparison run with all of the Mance parts installed. I know for sure it is a drastic improvement, but I'd love to have some numbers!

I wont be able to afford the IM/heads until at least summer...too many things on the list before them. ;/
