Ken had some more goodies installed. I think my car does better with less boost up top because of the ported heads, ported Eaton and 98 Cobra cams. Interesting how close to a stock GT500 the numbers are...

Ken's before and after:

Your heads should be asking for more boost if they were ported correctly.

Next spring, the new (another new engine, slighty lower cr) engine will have even better heads, Crower Stage 2 blower cams, ss valves, and 17+ psi until I get a TVS... ;) Oh, and this engine being rebuilt like superman... happens to be the engine out of the last Marauder made...:D

What Goodies did Ken get? Looks like longtubes ~50hp or so.

Perhaps he could change his name to "Speed Racer"... Racer X. :D

Confusing. What is run file 059???? What kinda of Car/setup does Ken have???
RacerX

File # 59 is Ken's MM
# 11 is Mine
#2 is a stock 2007 GT500

Ken's is an 04 SB that I helped install a Trilogy and Aluminator in last summer. He has since installed a lower and upper pulley, 60lb injectors, BA3000 and SW LTs just went in. In the following weeks, the rest of his exhaust will be 3" all the way. I'll see if he'll chime in with the exact specs! :beer:

New numbers today, 10/10/12. 440Hp and 484Tq. Complete Stainless Works LTs from stem to stern. 3" pipe all the way! The previous dyno was with SW LTs to x-pipe temporarily going to the stock pipe/mufflers/exhaust tips. I should have got vid of the rear. Sounds mean as all hell!

What I heard was the guy in the Z06 saying 'make sure you sign your name on the pink slip correctly';)

Your heads should be asking for more boost if they were ported correctly.

Ported heads do little for power, correctly ported or not. I have numerous examples of FI combos that gained no hp with the addition of Livernois CNC ported heads, both their stg 2s and stg 3s.

I'd like to see a dyno comparison at the same boost levels.

With the numbers shown the port job aint doing nothinng but when there is 30psi flowing it makes a difference. Just ask the 1400 hp turbo guys.

...but those in now way compare to a street driven, low boost combo like RacerX's.

If a stock intake manifold (n/a and PD type, ported on not) are used the gaind from porting are minimal at best. If the intake is a Sullivan there are gains to be realized because that intake flows some air.

I agree totally! this is why i didnt waste my time porting my heads!

My porting was free or it wouldn't have happened. Now, there IS short turn radius, bowl and chamber work done also. With new cams, my new heads will really shine. Not a fair comparison because it's not just a port/hog job. Port/gasket matched is more what I did to the head runners as far as porting goes. It's a "Stage Me". :P

I'm going to say that adding a longer duration cam and proper timing is going to be the best benefit for these when SC'd. I'm sure Todd will agree!

Im not knocking your setup (which i like) and you did it your self, if i could have ported mines my self then its a win/win, but at the same time i wouldnt pay to have it done as i think the coin could be better spent elswhere is all.
