ok guys...

do I need to have my intake hot tanked? I took it up to the car wash with some engine degreaser, and although the top looks good in inside passages still seem bo be lacking quite a bit.

what is the best way to clean this?

You should clean in out of any contaminant which could break free and migrate through your motor, especially the fuel passages. Cleaning the exhaust cross over is good house keeping as well as the water passages.

I started with nothing and I still have most of that left! - <a target="_blank" href=http://community.webshots.com/user/borregok5> Pictures</a>
 
I took it to the car wash, and ran high pressured water through every hole... is this enough?
