After going through this thread at work and having numerous interuptions (my modem's acting up at home), I find myself in (almost) total confusion about the gasket issue. I'm sending a 2000 SVT UIM. Do I need to send/tell EH the replacement gasket for reinstallation? I'm seeing something about a 34 or 35mm gasket and then another size too. What should I do? Sorry if this is a dumb question to the guys who understand these, but I don't. Thanks for the info.

Just received a call from Rick @ Extrude Hone...the 3 SVT UIM's I sent in (SVT ST Pete, EvlBill, and mine) are ready and shipping out today  FYI... Rick plans on posting some before and after flow numbers on the SVT and SE UIM's sometime next week. Here is some of the information he told me over the phone (don't hold me to this but I think I have it pretty close). He did tell me the NEW flow numbers will include the UIM and LIM together not just the UIM. The equipment he used initially was on loan and is no longer available. The equipment he is now using flows them both together. Before the Extrude Hone process the difference in flow for the SVT vs. SE showed that the two were not that far apart, about 10 CFM...SVT 260 CFM range vs. SE 250 CFM range (UIM/LIM combined flow numbers). After Extrude Hone numbers should be around 290 CFM according to Rick. As I mentioned earlier he will have all the details sometime next week. Not to shabby though @ +30-40 CFM and right on target (SE 16%, SVT 11.5% increase). Rick also verified the fact that port matching WILL most definitely improve these numbers a little more as well and would be well worth the effort  Also Extrude Hone sends quite a bit to Jet-Hot and Rick's comment was "it's good stuff and should help out in cooling the intake" Scott

I just sent mine in today. I called my dealer to see what the UIM goes for so I'd know how much to insure it for. Guess what, boys and girls, $816.00!! I could get it for less through my son's account (around $646) which is still a ton of cash. I couldn't believe it, I checked twice with 2 different people, same cost. So, make sure you insure your UIM, it'll cost you a body part to replace it.

Insured mine for $1K when I sent it in and asked they do the same when sending back.

FYI: I just called Rick to see if I'm still able to participate in this GB. He said because of all the interest... and interest from Ford Racing (??), they've extended this GB another couple weeks!! Shipping mine tomorrow.

So if anyone is missing an SVT manifold at the end of this GB, you know where to find it!
