Yo,


Soul Assassin, if you've forgotten....We HATE you!!! *grin*

Are you anti-peripheral port or what? Go for broke or go home...

not anti perphial port that is a little to extreme for me.the motor should last about 40k it wuold be 20 k if you also port the rotor housings.

well i was actually pulling high 11's!
the parts alone for the motor were 2grand then you got your bridgeporting,polishing of housings, shootpeening the rotors and apex seals and corner seals
so the total came up to about 3 grand and he put the motor in for me. also when i get enought mileage on it he is going to retune it for free (usually 800beans to put the car on the dyno)
just think of the sweetest sound you ever heard and multiply it by a hundred thats what the idle sounds like! music to me ears!
i am going out in a few to clean her up and make a quick video so you guys can hear her, so someone hook me up and host the vid! it will be under 1 mb

Yeah, I was just kidding. Peripheral port is NOT street-worthy material in my opinion. So how is the idle... smooth or really chunky? My friend has a 12A with a peripheral port, and I've seen that thing idle -- uuuugh. Hopefully yours isn't that bad... and you were talking MILES right, not KM for the life of the engine??? Can't wait to hear/see the vid. I can host it if it's under 50MB -- my friend can put it on his site.
