Stiegemeier's Porting/Polishing $#@$^!!!
 
Got my blower and upper plenum back... Updated porting job, port matched at the TB and S/C inlet, stripped the rotors:

Then I painted the IAC and bypass the body color of my truck, and shot it with clear:

Then mocked up everything, including the polished SBTB and EGR blockoff plate:

All I could say when I picked it up was HOLY $H!+!!! I couldn't believe what an INCREDIBLE job Bob and his team did on this supercharger and plenum!! Bob went over everything that was done - including stripping of the rotors - He HIGHLY recommends doing that on ALL the truck blowers due to the small clearances within the case, and the fact that the cases can deflect under high boost/heat condiditons. It's inexpensive to do and will save your rotors and blower - He even mentioned that they tend to run better and cooler! He port matched everything, and I verified when I put it all together.

Stiegemeier has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND what I was expecting when I picked it up. These pictures just CAN'T do the work justice! If you're going to be at the World Ford Challenge, come by to check it out - I'll be showing the truck in the car show there!!

There's some revisions since Sept. If you give them a call over there, Robyn, Bob or Kurt would be glad to give you the details :thumbsup:

No big deal - I asked Bob about that yesterday, he said it was cool.

I'll post the underside tomorrow - I'll be installing it and taking more pics tonight. Gotta see the rotors - they look sweet w/o the coating :rocker: It's a shame they have to be hidden by the ugly polished case :lol:
