Message	DON'T DO IT!!! Charlie(Mal1ce) and I got the plenums, etc. back from Shawn Lane(SL103) a few weeks back after he had them for ONE MONTH. Here is just a sample of his polishing(?) work... Charlie had the "porting" work flow tested at Stoid Racing and the results were reported as "nominal" at best. Someone commented, "...basically you have stock manifolds with lots of pretty scratches in them." They are having to be completely redone. Meanwhile, it doesn't look like we will be getting a refund from Shawn after a number of e-mail attempts. Thank you Shawn for fucking me over. You are certainly the champ today.
