    Is it possible to create a homemade HV3 or modify the plastic runners in a similar way?

    Actually...it isn't plastic...or if it was it sure didn't feel like it...to be honest it felt more like a wax based material or a "poly" substance when we put on in my buddy's N/A a year or so ago.

    I've heard the h-body guys talk about just cutting down the stock runners to the same height as the HV3, but I'm not sure anyone has actually done it. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

    As I said, I don't know that anyone's actually done it, so no, there's no guide or anything like that.
