Standard answer. Anywhere from 100 to 200hp.

Throwing parts together is easy. Making it work is where the power lies.

HP = motor size*6.3/porting diameter+water pump pully size*6.2245/Air Temp + Wind speed - fuel octane/ how many birds in your yard at the time*how many burritos you ate in the last week+75/7.725*the weekend weather forcast.

Works for me everytime

Also- 'big streetport' on a 6 port 13B? I thought those are limited to minor porting?

Not in the least.

Well, as far as street porting is concerned, yes there's only so far you can go because the casting is so thin. Then again the timing is extreme even in stock form so street porting is kinda pointless. (Would definitely be a good idea to retain the sleeves)

On the other hand, there's absolutely no reason they can't be bridge ported... and people do do that
