Default Arkansas Polishing, anyone heard of these guys?

Hey guys. I've been researching my mod plans for this summer, which include a 58mm TB and a ported manifold, amongst many other things (I've read a million opinions on whether or not it helps out on stock heads/internals, I don't need to hear any more)

Came across these guys after a quick Google search for ported lt1 manifolds, and it seems a little too good to be true (Summit price for an LT1 manifold is ~500) and they're offering a powder coated, ported 58mm manifold with fuel rails for 300 shipped with a 100$ refund if you send em yours...

They use paypal as payment, and have an ebay store. I just haven't seen a whole lot on them in the F-body community.

Thoughts? Opinions? Concerns? Won't be ordering anything for awhile but I like to have a plan. Thanks guys

Here's the link http://www.arkansaspolishing.com/lt1.php

They are probably just using using a chrome Powder Coat.


I am located in Benton, let me know if I can help you out. Here is an intake we did for a local LT1 Guy in gloss black.

The summit sold LT1 manifold is going to be the Edelcrap which seems to be a possible step backwards from stock, but then again you don't seem to care if you do anything right.........................................

Default beware

DO NOT USE ARKANSAS POLISHING THIS BUSINESS IS A SCAM. I sent them my tpi unit for work and never got it back. As soon as payment cleared for it all forms of communication stopped. they quite responding to emails, phone call, ect. had to file disputes with paypal and bank. very hard to get money or parts back ended up loosing my tpi unit and my money. dont under any circumstances send these guys any parts or money because you will never see it again. SCAMMERS, FAKE, FRAUD.
