Ported supercharger?

Can anyone explain to me what this really means? Also I know it can be done with the eaton and read that you could gain up to 35 rwhp is this true and what does it cost to do it. Thanks

I recently installed a ported (and polished) Eaton/Plenum. Here are a couple of side by side pics that will show the difference between ported and unported. You can see why there would be more efficiency with the port!

Hey what is the cost to have something like that done? And does it really add that much more power. Thanks for the pictures. Look really good.

You can find the answers to most of your questions here:

I had it done more for show than go....couldn't really tell you about any power increases in my case, except that it feels, and certainly sounds more powerful!

Here is a pic of the finished product. I think it turned out well!

Had the apten job on an 03 with a 4# pulley , it was about the best bang for the buck IMO , the best part was that mine built boost VERY quick and would fly up to 13 / 14 and then max out at 16 . The sound difference is noticable also , sounds nothing like a stock eaton !
