Well I better download these pics and video I have. Enjoy your engine Kane. And if you ever take the oil pan off you'll see I was there.

This is going to take a while.

Did you forget about Phils 8? I ported that engine for him before the BHR build. Nothing major just a little enlargement and clean up.
Like a mild street port.

i did forget about Phils---and the outcome for that one was pretty darn good.
This will be the 1st 6 port thats ported and FI'ed?
Wish we could get a wet flow bench analysis on these ports (oem and ported) intake and exhaust.

There were so many changes in a short period of time that I was not able to document any of them. I am convinced that the "clean-up" porting that Erick did was a contributing factor to my performance.

I am thinking that simple clean-up porting probably doesn't yield much in terms of overall airflow numbers but there is a chance that the shape of the torque curve may change a bit (if we are lucky).
I think that Ray is just being conservative when he says the porting does not yield very much. You will have a hard time convincing me that Erick's (and Ray's) work did not cause a significant gain in my engine's performance.
