Building Peripheral Port housings
It's hard for me to tell what pipe you used. Here is a link that shows all the OD's and ID's of standard aluminum sch40 pipe sizes. Nothing is 2.5" OD.

I've seen the housings up close personaly and know who builds them for him also!
In dragracing circles 50mm id. is regarded as old school.

Hello everyone! I'm new here and have a question about porting:
What are the diferences in terms of power and torque low and high in the rpms, fuel economy, engine life and day to day driveability of the different ports (street, bridge, J port, Monster port, P port, exhaust port)?

Let's put it this way. The motor Jesus built for Ken has 2" ID. I have not seen Jesus's but Ken said he had the same setup except he runs a carb setup.

Right now the 2" ID is working very well for Ken and he is pretty sure he can get more out of it.
If Ken does decide to go bigger we can do that but bigger means a lot more intake duration unless changes are made to build up the ID of the tube at the point of intake and play with some grinding.



Good job! Looks amazing... how much hp are we expecting here?
