Head Porting...

Phantom5oh · 08-13-2001, 10:05 AM

Well I had the heads cleaned up a little when I put them on last time. Nothing big was done the machinist just removed some of the casting flash, but thats about it. Without rebuilding my whole motor I can't see making any more power without porting the heads. The car has been set up on the dyno and its a pretty stong little engine, but nothing to brag about. I just want some more balls, cause I am getting a little bored, but I can't afford to redo the whole thing again. The reason I have the Torker II is because I dont want to have a big hood (its a sleeper) and I don't think I can clear the stock hood with a Victor (its an 83 with a functional rear facing scoop) or do I have the clearence? My real problem is I have a stock crank and rods but I have ARP rod bolts. It only made 320 HP (flywheel) or there abouts on the dyno, if I make any more will I need a girdle? I don't want to grenade my baby. My cam is bigger than the Motorsport X cam, so it can handle almost as much head as I throw at it. What do I do? How much does it cost to port a set of these things if I just don't have time to do it?
