Porting a head or getting an upgraded cam is like steetporting.

Hey skymarshall, do a search on "How to make a beefy N/A". There is a thread that goes on for about 15 pages and it has some really good stuff in it.

What part of Ky are you in, Louisville here.

(Edit) Also, you might want to think about going to a S5 engine setup, the stock 6 port injection is a good 20 HP over the S4 engine. Not sure what all that swap would take, but it can't be to hard and I am sure you could get info off this forum about it.

The position and size of the ports in a rotary engine is analogous to the valve timing and lift in a piston engine. By porting a rotary, you're doing the equivalent of making the valves open earlier/close later.
