Porting stock heads

Ieatcamaros · 05-19-2005, 07:50 PM

I can't say one way or another if it is worth it or not to port stock heads. Not much to lose though. Anyway, I had to clear up the "adjustable T" gauge part. If you are referring to what I think you are, that is called a telescoping gauge.

I know that what you do to them right now will not Gain the results that I will tell right now. Do yall remeber when MM&FF did the test on POWER HEADS. JUST a head change was good for 42 HP if I remeber correct, JUST THE HEADS. Throw in a cobra and an E or B cam and an easy 50 to 70hp gain for the whole project( on the high side) But the thrill of doing it yourself is priceless

I gotta agree, Doing it yourself gives you a since of satisfaction. Always a good starting point too.

Power heads have bigger valves and are cnc ported. Wish i had a cnc machine in the garage.

When I went from being stock to installing an explorer intake, ported heads and 1.7RR I went from a 14.46 to a 13.66 and from 96mph to 102mph.
