bit confused... pinneaple sleeves question... not a install question

ok i know the sleeves are better for air flow however i am removing my ports altogether because it will benefit me better with what im doing to my motor... but i dont understand if i should ...

1. remove the ports and actuators, sleeves, and rods
2. or do the above and put in pinneaple sleeves

is that what your supposed to do or better to do if you remove the ports is put in pinneaple sleeves... or am i just putting in something thats gonna do just as bad as the ports im removing? thanks in advance

The pieces of metal that are bought from pinnapple racing do not come with the sleeves, you have to install them.

But I think what would be best is if you just took them all out together, instead of leaving them in there with the sleeves.. It will be a less restricting airflow if everything is removed.

Altogether, you should remove the actuator setup, a functional one is far better than not having one at all.

Seriously give that second thought. This is a good idea if you have a drag car, where you launching at 4-5krpm anyways, and you don't wanna worry about the port functionality.. but if your street driving your either gonna have to

1. Launching at 3k just to get goin
2. Let out the clutch so ****** slowly every time that you'll have a dead clutch in a year.

Get them functional with the pinnapple sleeves, thats the best way.

after reading alot in the archive people say that they gain power everywhere after removal but only if you have a good few mods to your car... yes im sure this wouldnt help on a stock or near stock car but mine wont be near that..... its just if you leave them in and wire them open you have such hard drivability in low rpms and from a start..... thats the information i gathered from the archive and makes sense to me as to how many people with ported motors dont even put them back in anyway because of the restriction they cause
