I'm modding the truck this weekend and need to know if the Stieg's ported and polished everything is worth it? I want low 12's with the common mods (Cool Aid 3, 4lb lower, plugs, thermostat, ftvb/wpan, breather, exc.?) I need some quick responses before 8 in the morning so i can call and get it done!

Let me know, much help would be apreciated!

 

I dont have it done but the porting (no polishing) is the next mod. Im dying to do it but taxes is killing me. Everyone raves about it so do it.

 

i don't think just a port and 4lb/ftvb/filter will get you low 12s... high 12s yeah but I wouldn't bank on low 12s. Maybe step it up to a 6lber, 2 or no cat mids and a cat back and some t-bars and 28" slicks and you'll see low 12s though?

read that before you port....

 

So is this article on SVTPerformance saying that porting is not such a good idea? I WAS about to have the Eaton ported, but after reading the loss of rwtq, I'm not so sure it's a good idea.

 

Well, I ordered the ported and polished plenum, throtle body, and charger today. Stage IV is level I went with. Stieg's said hopefully next friday, but befor the 19th! I'm jacked....

 

yup... at least not with the new port design he has. they have had torque losses from 15-70FT/lbs...and if you read threw the posts youll see there customer service sucks a fat ****

 

i wouldn't go that far... a couple people have bad experiences with customer service and all of a sudden everybody is all about hanging them.

you can't make everybody happy that's how it is.

 

Thats how it goes in this game..... you cant **** off anyone when you have such a focused market.....and it sounds to me like Mrs. Stieg really went to extremes..... and its funny how every Stieg post that goes negative on a forum gets deleted....

As for the porting, yeah I wouldnt port an eaton at this point if it were free, the data is incomplete, and a few guys that I do trust on the matter have posted negative results that were either because of the port or because of the rotor stripping. My own Stieg ported eaton lost quite a bit of torque through the entire rpm range, with a minor gain in hp up high...this equalled slower track times....

I think your money would be better spent on other mods, or saving for a KB or Whipple.
