Jus look'in for input 5-10 minutes??? Hell, it takes me an hour just to debur a block. I do matching and polishing but no profiling, I let the pros with the flow benchs do that. It's just as easy to screw up ports as it is to improve flow if you don't know what you're doing. And people wonder why porting costs $$$$

Master Guru La Habra Ca. 791 Posts Member since: 2012/1/6 1:28	Thank's Guys for your feed back...this IMHO could make a good topic. Anyhow, I dont get into reconfiguring head port design, but wat I like to do is the following in house: I'll have my customer bring their heads in with int.//Ex. manifolds too bolt everything up use dykem to mark everything out, and go from there., and I usually will suggest to jus port match everything, reshape the guide area,bowl blend,dust chambers,get into the intake ports about 2 inches smooth everything out , then bout 1.5 inches on the exhaust ... I call that Stage II. Any input or improvements u rec? Jus talkin bout chevy heads as an example here ;) Attach file: pp.jpg (22.79 KB)
