Engine porting
Would you consider enlargening the ports on a rotary motor the piston equivalent of cam/camshaft upgrades?
They both change the lift and duration of the intake/exhaust stroke.
Only thing with a rotary is it requires engine disassembly which means usually waiting for a rebuild.
I believe it's the basic equivalent to a camshaft upgrade, but I've been noticing a lot of people who refer to ported rotary motors as "upgraded" motors when they're really not.

I do agree on the first part but i do think ported motors would be condidered "upgraded" or "modified", because is that wasnt true they would have to be stock and thats not the case.

Based on the way you explain it I agree that it is similar. But I also consider it an engine modification since cams can be changed back to stock where a ported motor will forever be a ported motor.
(Then again if you warp your housings and have the motor rebuilt I guess its back to stock. Hmm... o well)

I guess porting the rotary would pretty much be the equivalent of porting the heads and adding high lift cams in a piston engine. Its just one job to do them both for us.
