I <3 you. Now when are we playing a cash game again?

I wouldnt mind seeing that either. And Clark ammuse me with some new imformation on your project...?

Hooters will be done soon enough, and that will be the new flavor!

Eli I saw you at winking lizards monday night. True story. Back on topic, Powers makes an interesting idea, of opening the intake much more, so that more air can be forced, since we do not have to guide it in like a NA car. Are there some equations out there that can help you get an idea of how far to go, or is it more or less trial an error. Because to have an effective air pump, you need to suck in a much as you can, without forceing any back out, and this is really impossible in a real situation, but the idea is to get as close to this ideal value as possible. Here is another thing I keep reading about, and many people here it all the time, import head porting really isnt all that hyped up, this is mainly due to better desgins then most domestic stuff, I mean there is a reason imports are easy on fuel, they are more efficent, less energy wasted. So really with import heads there isnt as much changes that should be made? I guess for a mild *street* port you really just need to port match, and do minute abouts of porting to the intake, and a little more aggressive on the exhuast, and some polishing thrown in there. But for say a race port, do you go as far to start looking at cut aways of intake ports and figure out how they can be reshaped? What would be an ideal shape? Why? What would be an ideal exhuast port shape? Each motor is slightly differnt, but similar at the same time.

As far as polishing goes, there is a static field on the intake side that is formed when the air travels through, so a polish wont help, and you also want some surface roughness, because you want to try and dictate the "swirl" of the air, to lessen the turbulence, and creat a better air pump. And you want to polish the combustion chamber and the exhuast ports to a mirror finish if possible this will help reduce the chances of detonation, and poor exhuast flow, because the polish will lessen the amounts of carbon build up, which are detonation catalysts. Thinking in terms of a boosted car, I am still skeptical of just opening it up, It seems to make sense because I am not stricken with velocity as much as an NA person would be. What I am trying to get at is, I think that more focus should be done on the exhuast side of a turbo head then the intake. Any one else (I have some theories, just amuse me)? And also what about sharpe edges in the combustion chamber on a boosted car? That screams pre ignigition, but how much do you really want to change the shape of the chamber? Do you mainly want to just smooth the edges or take them back to no mans land?

He is consistent, dosent make to many mistakes. But he is no all star.

Then thinner head gasket and milling raised the compression I assume? 9 angle valve job.wow. Thats awesome for an NA head, but that dosent leave you much of a valve seat for a boosted car. Are you still using this head on your car now? Who ever said americans with muscle cars are dumb http://www.highperformancepontiac.com/tech/0211hpp_part2flow/ discuss

Which is why your going to have to make a sacrifice, somewhere in your intake track. Because if you go for top end, higher power, you certainly will have lower rpm intake ommisson, and lower power. But if done right you can record more HP throughout, with larger gains in the higher rpm range.

It makes a lot of sense. Bigger can be better, but you need to make the motor more efficent to use the better or larger intake charge, but just like that says, raise the port volumes, you lower the intake velocity, which means you really are sucking in to much at the wrong time, and speed. So it can change the effiecny of the suck, squish, bang, and blow, which is also why we adjust timing in a sense. I want some more ideas!!!!

What else did he change? Did he really pick up 20 hp from just the porting, or did he get some power from another bolt on, or more boost. Point it how differnt is NA porting then boosted, because the goal is to try and get 760 torr into and engine with NA, and if the head is ported properly you often can get slightly better, mabye like 780 torr. But with a boosted car your forceing in 760 torr in reguardless, so wouldnt opening up more flow help? The there is exhuast gas pressure, which affects teh turbos response rate...So many more things to talk about.

Explain how much, porting a boosted cars cyclinder head really helps, and or what to do to make it help. Will porting a turbo head for a larger CFM truely be more benefical unlike say porting a NA head where more CFM often means less power? This article is interesting.http://mototuneusa.com/think_fast.htm

Motor is broke, rod bearing. Previous owners failure. As far as racing him, NP, come nice weather time, I would be happy to let him *waste* his race gas on my lowly broken car. Hope he gets some of Ken's parts, 11.70s would keep it at least interesting for me...

True story, Hooters on polaris is the new hotness!

ewwwwwwww

Amusing

No thanks.

Just got out of abou an hour ago. I liked the movie, the acting and the filming were great. The story I thought was awesome as well, I think I liked this movie mainly becuase, if your a fucking retard you got either bored, or lost, and if you were'nt a retard then you learned a lot, and or found it somewhat stimulating.

OHES NOES A 16G ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Your car is insane!

this is exactly how it should be done. Benefits for donaters.

Uggg not this again.

Its funny seeing it on that girls lap

what is directbuy? is that internet only sales? If so then offcourse it is cheaper on the internet.

Compund fracture to my right upper arm, put the bone through the skin, dislocation the shoulder partially at the same time. So there were torn ligaments, my rotator cuff was torn up bad, which really didnt hurt that bad comparied to the arm bone i got to visually see. I was laid up for 6 months, and the 1 year of thearpy. Result, was a pin put in my shoulder, a rod to hold it in place as well, and one should hangs slightly lower then the other now.
