I have to pull my intake manifold again for some measurements, but I really don't want to buy new gaskets for the upper, middle, and lower plenum. It's a pain in the butt. You have to use a small cut off wheel, titanium carbide grinding bits ($175), a port and polish kit ($65), and wear safety glasses. Just cut, grind, and polish until you're happy with the whole thing. It took me about 5 hours to gut and polish my intake manifold. I started to get tired in the last hour, but I took no shortcuts. I just regret not taking pictures.

Do you think the P&P had any gains? With a gutted intake manifold would it really matter anyway? Did you loose torque/is it a dog down low? Are you planning on FI, is that the main reason you gutted it?
My type II intake is coming on monday and I'm debating on whether to P&P it or not before I install it.
