I have talked to a company that ports the m112 gen 2 lightning blowers and claims 25% more overall volume.They also claim at least 25 more h.p on a stock gen 2 lightning. Mine has long tube headers ,bigger lower pulley,x pipe and hi flow cats so if there #s are accurate and this porting is worth doing like they say,i would see bigger numbers than 25hp. This is the blower itself and not the intake that gets ported. Does this sound reasonable to expect 25hp from having this done? Or does anyone have any experience with other blowers that were ported?

Yep same guy,iv'e never visited this section of the board but figure someone here must know if this is worth doing. I have a chance to buy a spare m112 with little use dirt cheap so if somone can confirm that porting is worth it,I will definitly go for it. I want to run 11's this season with no juice and every little bit helps.

I'll let you know Friday... It's not just polished on the outside.

There have been significant changes to the M112 this year that may justify that increase, but I seriously don't think porting alone would produce those results...

If you want the details offline, please send me an e-mail.

These blowers are available just like this for a pretty good price.

TampaSVT - that blower is beautiful! - Truly a work of art. That should be on the mantle instead of hidden under the hood.

I really liked the custom display stand you have for it, too! ;-) .

I already saw the holy grail of m112's on the L board. I will definitly like to hear about h.p. gains on that beauty. Babolt is a true craftsman but i am already up to 8k plus in the quest for 11,s and can definitly not afford one of those beautys right now. But i can dream. I would never want to put ice on it at the strip...that is for sure.
