No large gains??

So after doing a little research and reading some info on Mazdatrix.com webpage

I guess they dont get many gains from porting a 6 port N/A (86) engine

How true can this be? I need to hear from some of you guys that HAVE ported your 6 port engines

Is it really true that the power gains are lackluster? I want to port her, but if the gains are minimal. I might just port match all of the intake manifolds instead and get a decent 10-12 HP

Thanks guys.

p.S normally how much power could you get from street porting an engine? 10? 15? 20 HP?

I read the same page on their site, and I think the biggest problem they have is that they don't like to cut out the diffuser in the exhaust ports, and I guess that it's more work than doing a 4-port engine. I guess their returns just aren't as good.

If that was to me...I'm saying I've heard the same.

Its going to depend on what other mods too...ie exhaust setup...

agree with ya..so much easier to make big hp with a turbo..dumping money into a ported motor, all the goodies with an n/a and I know i still wouldnt be satisfied in the end.
