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
