Head work...
#26
Subscribed!!! I look forward to reading about your results. ![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Who is doing the head porting if you don't mind?
For what it is worth, don't worry about boost lost from head porting. Although it sounds like a negative on the surface, it is actually a positive! I would also recommend staying with the 180mm pulley.
Good luck with your project!

Out Of Control!!
Nice gains
You mind me asking who did the work and how much it cost? I must have missed it in the thread. He opened up the intake side alot but looks like the exhaust side is pretty good from the factory. No oversize valves or anything right? Just port and polish

Assuming these are the porting results, do you have a graph of the stock ports?
Thanks again for your contribution.

Maybe I'm reading the chart wrong. To me, we are looking at the flow rate at two different pressure levels, not before and after results which are typically posted.

"Stock heads flow around 250cfm @ .450lift on the intake side and 153cfm @ .400lift on the exhaust side."

This chart was done by the same guy who did my PnP job...

Not really sure and it isnt an isolated mod so dynos will be inconclusive about this one mod. Mixed with the cams it should be a nice increase. The guy who did the head says generally speaking it nets a 5% to 10% increase of hp. 50 hp increase over stock seems hard to believe. Other problem is people who have had this done before dont post results for reasons unkown. I however will gladly post results hopefully by next Friday. stay tuned...

typically it's been because the gains have not come close to what was advertised. i'm not trying to be a downer but it certainly is unfortunate that we still won't have any real data on head porting after this build.

That's what I'm afraid of. Hopefully the head work ontop of the other mods have made it worthwile.
