I could, my replacement should be here on Tuesday of next week.
So long as I get it back by June 25th I'd be happy. If not, I'd prefer to wait to send mine in around July 10th or so.
Then again I guess it really doesnt matter if I have a Cougar UIM on my car while I go camping for 10-days over July 4th. My car will be so packed I wouldnt miss the extra 8HP

My UIM has been off my car for a month, so give me the word.

That is completely against their normal policy and routine since one EH run is a specific timed event.
Multiple manifold thicknesses and matching flow rates would make a group buy like this a logistical nightmare for them.
If it is true then that is one hell of a deal and even DH SVT UIM's would almost not be worth buying because you can make any UIM into the best UIM for $300. 
I am on the fence of I'll believe it when I see it because that goes against everything I learned from the Extrude Hone themselves. (You are dealing directly with them and not a second source right?)
BTW - my UIM is not just triple honed. It was taken to the limit of the UIM. You will not get that from this group buy I guarantee it.
Hence why it took so long for mine and part of the reason I had to deal directly with EH. I started by going through a second source and that was a HUGE MISTAKE!!! Everything (price, process, etc) they said was completely wrong. (old and ugly story  Hindsight is 20/20 they say)

Demon - if you read the old posts in the "interest check" I asked this specific question. Why they've decided to do it this way is beyond me, but like you and I have said, it's one hell of a deal for the non-SVT manifold people. Maybe it has to do with their "new process."
BTW, yes, this is directly through EH in Irwin, PA. 
Kinda makes me want to buy a UIM and get it painted black...  How hard would it be to transfer my SVT plackard to a new UIM?

Some tidbits of info from the other post: 98-98.5 = single Honed UIM 99-00 = dual Honed UIM Some approx. CFU rates from Extrude Hone.. stock = 155 CFU single= 170 CFU double= 180 CFU triple= 188-190 CFU ------------------------------------------------------------ Emailed questions and answers: Originally posted by Derk2000:
2) I want to make sure that if you start with an SE manifold, that it comes back at the estimated ~225cfm. You indicated the price will be the same, but will the results be the same no matter what manifold you start with?
And the answers
2) Yes all the 2.5 L intakes hopefully will flow 225 cfm. No matter which intake we start with.
Originally posted by Derk2000:
2) What is the cfm goal you're shooting for again?
3) Will pricing be different if the manifold is non-honed (normal 2.5L V6), single honed (98 SVTs), dual honed (99-00 SVTs), etc?
4) With this new technique you spoke of, is the goal "maximum flow?" Maximum flow is what is wanted by the people interested in the group buy.
and got these answers:
2. We are going to try to reach 225 cfm. Hopefully
3. The cost will be the same for all intakes.
4. Yes the goal is maxium air flow.

I'm good to go whenever. Having it back before the end of June would be great. Lets see some final #'s.

When can we expect a time frame and some flow numbers? I need to know when to get ready.

Count me in too.
Derek, Demon brings up a point I've been wondering about. How will SE UIMs be brought to the same flow rates as the SVT UIMs? I ask because I have an SE UIM that I'm cleaning so that I can send in my SVT one. But IF the flow rates would end up the same it would make a hell of a lot more sense for me to send the SE UIM into Extrude Hone and then sell the SVT one.

sssshhhhh! That's what I'm thinking about doing.
I'm going to call EH tomorrow for some flow numbers. I'll ask about their process and (if I can explain it to you) try to clear things up.
I'll finalize a date either this evening or tomorrow.
