Looking to buy sneed4speed intake manifold or 20% pulley

I'm looking to save a few bucks and hopefully buy used or someone's unwanted parts.
lookin for a sneed4speed larger intake manifold AND I'm looking to buy a 20% pulley and install accessories, such as a Kavs pulley.
I got cash or some decent parts I would trade like stock head and cam , aftermarket intake ,my then almost new 17% pulley and even an r56 performance exhaust
pm me or respond to this post plz.

Why the change to a 20% pulley? do you think the Sneed mani is going to drop bottom end?

Also considering that mani for mine but need to get to the end of the bullet proofing first. (already have an RMW header in hand)

20% to get more boost sooner and maybe then be able to get the same if not more power while being able to shift at lower rpm's as I'm currently at 7500.
then I got a bvh and mild cam so I'd think that manifold would go very well with the setup , I kinda ported my stocker but its nothing like the sneedspeed one exp since they enlarged not just ported the intake.

Did you ever have any luck with this? Also would love to try one of these if the dang radiator shroud didnt cover all it pop and bling.

no. I haven't come across an intake yet unfortunately, though I'm still hunting . I did port my stock intake though in meantime but Im still be on market for that bigger manifold.

As someone who bought the SneedSpeed manifold, you're probably better off with a stock ported one... I bought one 3 years ago along with a ATI damper and some other things. Took a month between the order and the actual shipping and what eventually showed up was not what I call an improvement. It was basically just a stock manifold with the increased area with zero porting and polishing. I started working on it a bit and gave up as I don't have the proper tools yet. I don't know if it's a common thing with those manifolds or I just got the short straw...

plz sell it to me... I have an alta 19mm adjustable bar I'm getting rid of too if ur interested... yes I read their porting is minimal but I could finish the porting as I ported the crap out of my stock one pretty easily. I found the BEST porting tool ever . It's like a dremmel on steroids but yet half it price.
I will even then give you my ported stocker once I take it off.
