Guys&Gals with ported eatons
Read the good and the bad...in my search for the truth..need some feed back..what where your gains.. I have a #4 lb lower..sb throttle...power pipe..air force 1..idler pulley kit....gator belt...FTVB...Kooks LT headers..magna high flow cats...bassani cat backs..denso plugs..x cal. tune... B&M deep tranny pan . Will a port job do anything 4 me?And do i need the c/l plenum?I didnt buy the s/b wife bought it 4 me for my birthday go figure looks kool if nothing else.
honestly, I haven't heard anything bad from those who went to reputable porters. (APTEN AND THE OTHER BIG ONES)
Doh I wish I knew the exact numbers but basically, when I was being tuned with my current mods (6# JLP lower, ported eaton, JLP Ram air, 90mm maf, phenolic spacer (that's about it for intake mods)) I learned some interesting info.
My air Temperature was a little lower to the same, as a stock engine at the sensor. So anyone who says a 6# creates too much heat to be effective, needs to have their eaton ported so that more of the intercooler is utilized.
Did I gain power, YES, going from a 3# to a 6# and eaton porting I gained over 38rwhp and over 23rwtrq.
(and I only have a conservative STREET program)
Had I opted for a more aggressive street or race program I would have gained more.

don't have #s but mine ran very consistant, used to loose a almost a tenth each run, after port stayed witin a tenth all night. and blowercase was much cooler, used to burn hand on case,after each run, now it just feels warm after back to back runs.
