Probably knows you can get a standard UIM 3x honed for 285.00, which will pass more air than any year SVT UIM.
The LIMs can be had for 45-120.00 at not less than 50 salvage yards across the US. (The market on these could edge up)
IMHO, the dollars for the SVT UIM/LIM package have peaked.
The meat of that market is the non SVT 2.5 and given the gains (HP/$) at the 4-600.00 dollar range, you probably should be investing in a fresh 3.0

Couldn't agree more.

A 3x passed SVT UIM fits and will flow better than a non-SVT 3x passed UIM.

 I am not sure why it would "fit" better, as long as it seals and porting mates it fits. As far as the flow, you would still have to send the SVT UIM in for 3x treatment. As a buyer, I would have the purchase cost of the SVT UIM and the EH cost. I can (and have) purchased standard 2.5 UIM's for 25.00 or less. Either way my point is that once you start topping 400.00 for a single mod on performance, you should consider the hp/$ ratio and that at some point would lead you to investing in the 3.0. Now a question..How much would you be willing to spend on this gents SVT UIM/LIM combo, if you were in the market?

Have you seen a standard 2.5 and SVT UIM max passed side by side? It's quite obvious which will flow better. Price? It's whatever the market will bear. I wouldn't pay anything since I have a max'd and Jet Hot coated SVT UIM.
