Did someone ask about functional bling?
Polished Tuned Port Injection setup anyone?

No this isn't my old tpi setup... I gave this tuned port system the polishing treatment for tweaker (Dillon)..
Before pic for reference:

Wow - that is beautiful!

So - you offering this as a service now? - cause if so - how much and where do I ship my stuff?

Is that just spray paint in the grooves, or powdercoat?

He's building a first gen wheeler.. been doing some research and finding the right ingredients to make a killer rig from scratch. :wink1:

I'll do it again for the right price. ...the first one is always cheaper.. now i know what i'm in for. :crazy:

This one took me forever cause i wanted it to be real nice for a friend.
its spray paint in the grooves, btw.
I prefer to find a setup, polish it, and sell it, just because theres a risk of damaging the aluminum parts in the process. :rolleyes:

An exchange is a definate possibility. I have a line on another setup i could do.. PM me for more info. :laugh:

What do you use to produce that bling? A mixture of techniques, I'd guess. Pedestal polishing wheel, and felt hobs in a die grinder or dremel for the tight spots? What compounds do you use. I got a Mercruiser TPI setup fo my BBC thats painted, or powdercoated black. I fantasize abought stripping and polishing it. I don't know, though.
