Has anyone done this?

I was wondering about a few things the other day. 1 being - If you did a mild (RB) street port on a 100% stock engine (including exhaust manifold) would it still be an increase in power? How much of an increase? Not doing it myself, just wondering if anyone ever did this before buying a header.

What do you mean, I must be reading this wrong.... When is a motor NOT stock when you rebuild it and streetport it? Any time you "port" a rotary there will be a gain in HP.. How much depends on WAY too many factors.. I musty be tired....

I have a header lol. I was just wondering what would happen if someone did this. To further explain to RRTEC, I was saying completely stock as in A/C, rats nest, cold start assist, etc. Obviously, a street port isnt stock anymore lol. Sorry about the confusion.

why not go all the way. forget about mild sp, half this half that. if you gonna get a port job, go max out.
