I never expected to go from 45 to 60 with only porting. I just wanted the names of some known engine builders. P&P is not the only thing I have planned. I want to do wut I can and still run pump gas. I wrk too much to have to worry with buying race fuel. Obviously u r in the know on this stuff, wut would u recommend?

i have done is over and over again...from individuals ...to race teams... to engineering schools....

and lots of times i have given them a price break to cover their BEFORE dyno session...

higher compression (piston or head milling).... more radical cams....bigger carbs... oxy fuels....loud pipes...more displacement...etc...etc

all add up on the power scale....with or without porting, they all add....

in each and every single case, i have been able to develop porting that will add +10% power across the ENTIRE powerband.... no losses....only gains across the board...

i have developed and tested it for decades...and so have the people i have done work for....

if you had 50HP BEFORE.... you would have 55HP after....60 BEFORE... you would have 66 after.... with a full 10% power gain from idle to the rev limiter....

and all of that is without going up in valve size...stock size valves all around...

i know lots of shops and technically inept customers like you to think you will go from 45hp to 60 hp with only porting.... but that never has...and never will happen in our sport...no matter what they tell you....
haters gunna hate thats just how the world goes

Thanks for the referral manny.

There are a few things to ask yourself when choosing a porter.
1 How long has this company been doing this type of porting?
2 Do they have a flowbench?
3 Will they stand behind the work they provided you?
