I have the stock 340 1970 manifolds and thought that maybe that honeing stuff they push threw stuf would do well forgot what they call it{extrude hone?} Would it hold back a 340 4.100 bore =422ci with 4" crank it came out to 10.88 compression nicely ported eddie heads and nicely ported six pack intake that much? I also have a NOS Sixpack Cheater System that is 250 shot with 2 plates for front and back carbs and a spacer for center that will be used at times. Headers are tuff on the street.But also do not want to kill the motor or waste $$$. I am posting in Race since I want real world opinons Thanks Kevin

I called Jet hot long time ago in 2005 and they said they do not coat for Hooker and they get calls all day long for guys wanting the Hookers redone. Guess I should just drag them down to Jet Hot and get then redone. Did I say Hookers coating sucks?

The seat of the pants difference was very noticable. I had the HP manifolds before the headers. Read a few mags with dyno tests that claim 40-50hp/torque over manifolds on a stock motor. All I really know is that the butt dyno doesn't lie.

I think it was Scott Smith Harms who recently did an extrude hone test on a 340 stroker for FAST compitition and he gained like 3 hp ovr un EX-honed hp manifolds. Headers on a 300hp 360 crate motor were worth about 25 hp over early 340 manifolds, on a bigger badder motor I think the differance would be even greater. I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
