Any idea on how much it would cost for someone to do this for you? Just a mild port/street type port.

What happened to the OP's build?

quicksilver34, I take it you had the same build done as well?

Today I will go to sleep and when I wake up .. I'm expecting and 8 with a ported motor to be in my drive way :) some day .... someday....

Any issues so far?

quicksilver34 04-11-2010 11:18 AM

Nope my car hasn't been ported yet,

Mspeedpro 04-11-2010 06:20 PM

Who did the tuning?

An update from the OP would be great -- forgot all about this thread.

I have suspected block flex as the cause for some of the Renesis Apex seal failure.
I have seen Renesis stock "dowels" that had been tweaked in a motor tear down, and at very low boost. What would happen to your apex seals if the engine "tweaked" a little?

Remember, 7s have problems with flex at a little over 400 HP, and they are far stouter than the Renesis
