For a stock engine, the 13B 6-port has more potential than a stock 4 port...12A or 13B for that matter. A carbed 6-port 13B will have good drivability characteristics throughout the rev range..and able to put out around 165 to 180HP at the crank. A stock 4 port engine with bolt-on mods will produce around 150HP. Now if youre going to do any porting ..street or bridge.. the 4 port is the way to go.

anyone else......for rite now im going with the 6 port so far.
heres the deal
car: 600
intake and carbs:734 plus shipping according to mazdaracing.com
engine (6 port) out of my se.....free
engine (4 port) 300 shipped and it runs
how much hp should i be making, on top of the carbs and intake making me gain more power i plan on making my own induction system through the hood. put an electric fan onto it, rats nest removal, i searched on that but all i got was beating around the bush, any direct site links, replace the cat with a straight pipe get a header from probably rb, any suggestions on muffler?
any other suggestions post them please im still in the thinkin process of this project, ...thanx guys
