Default Who does extrude honing ??

I have 2 intakes that I would like to get extrude honed to open up airflow a bit. I live near Chicago IL.

Is there anybody in the Midwest that does this or do I need to send them to Cali??

Thanks !!!

A number of these guys are cutting them out on their own with good results. I was contemplatine sending it to ASM but did not want to wait 6 mos. I never could figure out how it is a 6 mos process. Eddie Young bored out mine.

I suspect the reason it takes so long is that AZ can't just send one- they have to get a batch together. Maybe "can't" isn't the right word- but you probably wouldn't like the price.

Smokey Yunick was doing the process in his shop back when I was in short pants- attempting to bypass a NASCAR rule on porting. Although the process took days to accomplish. I suspect he was using carbide in a light oil solution and using a diaphragm pump to circulate it.

I know a guy that works at extrude hone and he said that there is a link on there web site that will take you there, he thought it was honeit.com, but from what I found it looks like it should be http://www.gethoned.com/ they specialize in the jobshop are doing a lot of NASCAR and drag cars as well. Hope this helps
