It was quite a funny arguement though, a bit hard to try to get an idea of what he was saying, and he refused to make an equal comparison, but whatever.
LoL.
I wish he was imaginary, he keeps bugging the hell out of me. Na, his names Ron. Owned a shop down in cali for 15 years then moved out here after taking a 5 yr break. How in gods name he ended up in fricken canby oregon is beyond me!!!
But when he showed me his truck.... 600hp Jbride 13b with a blower off a GM big block. Had to use a ford 9" rear end with 26" slicks. Damn. Thats all I have to say. And when he talks porting I listen.
But like some of the local great minds, and not so local, he will not get on a forum like this.
Ive had great luck listening to him, just trying to pass it on.
BTW sonic rat, that 11sec was porting alone or what? I am very tempted to turbo my 6 port 91 vert motor.

stock port. I don't get impressed much by people who have a fast car stashed away, nowadays everybody and their moms got one, and they all quote their fanciful little secrets (The Peurto Ricans are GREAT for that ****), it's really not half as hard as people make it out to be, and there's so many different things that work, then an assload of people who ramble on what they hear from others, and act like that's the only thing there ever is. The rotary world is making me weary.

It's not really a matter of having a ton of unhappy customers, he just hates everyone. His avatar told the story.

Looky what I did today.
Now if only I had the engine management, relocated battery, fuel setup, harness, and all the other stuff done too, then it'd be coming to the bbq
Oh well, the rx8 is more comfortable to drive haha.

Forced shut aux sleeves during break-in, after that who knows. I'm using a manifold setup that is sort of frowned upon at first, but if it doesnt perform as I see fit, I'll be going with some type of IDA setup probably.
