My SVT UIM was a LOT smoother than the SE UIM that I had on the car during the recent group buy. How to describe it. Say the SE UIM is like concrete, very bumpy. The SVT UIM would be like concrete in your basement or garage floor. Still not perfect but MUCH smoother. Hope that helps a little.

I'm not sure if there were any pictures taken of the differences inside the passages, the only ones I can recall were of the different diameters.




Mine is in the middle. Not rough, but not smooth.


E0 SVT Kids, yeah, I have kids. How many do you want?

Incorrect!

Discussed thoroughly when the Extrude Hone Group Buy came about.

To summarize, all SVT UIMs were passed the same number of times - same flow for 98, 99 and 00.

Confirmed by Extrude Hone and Terry Haines. I also took measurements of all runners between a 98 UIM and a 00 UIM and there was almost no difference between the two in the measurements.




Ok, so the whole 'dual hone' bit a while back was a crock?

As discussed in this thread...

Rick Miller of Extrude Hone - all SVT UIMs are the same.

Terry Haines -
The 5 extra horsepower is a result of:
- later heads being ported, early not
- later heads have a revised/added intake port hone
- .25 compression ratio increase in later years

Guys,

I'm starting to run low on storage space and will be deleting that file soon. If you want to save it, I recommend doing it soon.
