Question 6 port engine

i have almost decided what rotor im gonna use

a series 4 6 port engine imply becasue the s5 not sold here in australia

im looking for some way to get power out of it
without spending alot of cash

at fists i thought a nice high flow exhaust would be good but i then found out the the 2 extra ports need back pressure to open

so that a no go (for now)

so basically im ought ideas
i was thinking some sort of porting but dont know what

yes and no.. No in that you won't have "more" power than you would over properly working 6 ports... Yes in that, if your backpressure is not enough to open the 6p, then tying them open will give you more top end power. You will lose some low-end, but mine are tied open, and it's really not a big deal to me.

A better solution is to shoehorn something else to hopen them up.. Do a search for "6p activation" or something.. many people use the airpump or acv..
