hey guys im thinking about doing this to in the near future and i was wondering how much difference it makes from mm to mm. he does all these different sizes and im having a hard time on figuring out which size would be the best? also that website said something about swapping out sensors on the t body. could i use the sensors that are alrady on it or would i have to buy new sensors?

Thanks,
Ryan

If im not mistaking, the opening on the intake manifold was 63mm, so if you went with a 64mm and wanted the full benefit of it, you would need to open the hole up a bit bigger.

As for the sensors, im sure new ones may be nice, but just clean the ones you have now and run them till they are bad.

you shouldnt have to bore out your manifold to the 63mm or 64mm it isnt that important to do so. it should work just fine stock!

didnt mean that you HAD to, infact i wouldnt even bother with it. i just read when i got mine done that the manifold opening isnt 64mm and if you wanted a true straight thru 64 you would have to open it up a mm or 2.

not sure if you got my message back or not. Not really sure how much it was but for some reason $10-11 sounds about right.

his contact info is here
http://strokedjeep.com/contact.html
both his email and paypal address

from what i remember, i emailed the one listed on the site, and got a response back from another email address, im guessing to eliminate spam to one address. either way, he was quick on replying back to emails everytime i sent him one.
