2nd gen center plate porting
Since you can't do real massive porting on the auxilary port in the front and rear plate on an N/A engine is it worth while to port the middle plate heavily or will the gains be minimal at best? I'm rebuilding a series 4 N/A engine and don't want to mess the porting up and kill what little torque the engine has(even though the sleeves are removed. The car will be a daily driver and I am going to do the teflon in the aux port trick that blake did on one of his engine's and port that some. I know getting rid of the aux. ports will hurt the mid range some but I'm willing to deal with that as long as its not a massive loss.

Hey, Node is back. I don't want to change my entire intake setup so the TII front and rear plates are not part of the equation. This is kinda an experiment before I port the engine for my FP car. I'm going to use the factory intake so I don't have to take a weight penalty. 190# is alot when your autocrossing. I can't afford to buy an new intake but I can try to make my car lighter. Its cheaper to cut things out than it is to buy stuff.
I feel my goals will be achieved if I can get 190HP to the rear tires on my FP car. That will give me a power/weight ratio similiar to a stock 3rd gen.
