I got the phone call on this right after it happened on Saturday. MUCH congrats to Ken and Dee representing Mazda. Both of you guys are doing great! So where are all the full Peri port w/forced induction and Bridge port w/forced induction advocates now?(this doesn't include the Semi-PP guys) Since Ken is running a street port it goes to show you what a properly executed street port combination can do vs. a full PP or BP motor w/forced induction. I guess all you full PP and BP w/forced induction advocates will STFU concerning the arguement already! Too bad I didn't make it to VA this weekend, good luck to you guys in the elimination rounds.

How long have you been waiting to use that one

Just wait, it's close. As a matter of fact it's right under your nose

Ken used to run a Kilo ported bridge engine, with no semi-pports. Did he change it?

Unhappy

I just phoned VA to make sure about the port. I apologize, I only saw the center plate in FL, so I assumed it was a street port since I didn't know the secondaries were bridged, sorry about the comment and assumption to all you guys, I'll go sit in the corner of the room now, lol.

lol..
You guys are so anti port if it isn't streetport... hehe..
It sucks there's only 4 corners, where do we put all the other SP adversaries. lol...

Everybody has different views and way's of making power this doesn't mean you
should criticize other's because they do something different or think differently of you...

rotorheads should stick together and team up to go against the enemy (pistons)
not fight each other.

Stop spreading this misinformation Chris. Those times are not attainable on salsa. To set the record straight Ken is using pico de gallo not salsa.

Another update: Ken wins the final in VA. Congrats to both him and Dee for a great all Mazda final.
Cris, Enzo, 680RWHP12A and Doc Holiday thanks for the lesson in STFU, lol. I'll make sure to bring you guys some of that salsa and pico de gallo at Etown, lol.
