Soul Assassin,
I compared your pic to my pic #6 and it looks like it's very similar to mine, only thing is yours is a bit deeper and slightly wider, but the height looks about the same. I noticed that the angle between the face of the housing and the inside of the port is almost 90deg, but in my case they have a small slope in the begining which then drops into the port. I think that in your case you'd get alot more flow through the port. I'd love to do a BP like yours, but I'm not going to be using the car exclusively for racing so I'll stick to a "nice" streetport. What about the ports on the intermediate housing? What do those look like in your engine? Anyone else have some insight??

Alf, Did you do the porting yourself?
It looks like you used some kind of a magnet to collect the shavings?

Greg,

Can you please give me some examples of what both shops have "ghetto-rigged" Even when Rampage was in business they did good work.

Greg, go to your site....

Click on Image Gallery
Click on Atco - 1
Do you realise that out of the first 20pics.....13 of those are T and R Cars???????? (not counting boostn7)
.....hmmmmm I don't get it. You stood there, right infront of the shop owners, took 13 pics of their cars, took underhood shots which is cool that they have their hoods open and now you talk smack.

If you really don't like the shops you should not have pics of their cars on your site. Especially the ones with the hoods open for everyone to see how "ghetto rigged" they are.

Just my 2 cents.....

<<<<-------- About Anthony and his car-------->>>>
Anthony if you took offence to that my bad, you car is dope and you know it ,its the fastest 3rd gen on the stock twins. And, I have checked out your car at the pan nats. AND I have told you on AIM that your car is tight so, you shouldnt have taken offence to that.

<<<<----------About me calling t and r ghetto---------->>>>
I know at least 5 people that I am cool with that had or tried to have **** done at T and R and got shitty results. Im sure you know of some if these complaints

<<<<-------- me having T and Rs race cars on my site------>>>>
And as far as me having their cars on my website, hell yea cause their cars are done right, their cars are fast as ****. So thats why I have them on there. I seriously doubt that if you are gonna fix your own car up you would not do it half ***.


Obviously you are buddy buddy with one of them people so you are gonna take a side somewhere. I dont give a rats *** what either shop does cause I dont plan on going there or ever racing them when my car is ready. If you want a race car then go to T and R but for most of these tight assed people on this forum then they are better off going to dave or someone along those likes.

thats good for you. I didnt say that All their work is half ***

And I am sure that T and R has some done ALOT of good **** but I havent seen any myself, except for their cars, Now, if someone takes my opinion in making their decision on a shop to tune their car is dumb cause I havent seen every car they worked on. I said before that I know of 5 people that have had junk work.

T and R baby!!!!

Like Trech said, "If you haven't been to the ghetto....." . Well Greg I couldn't finish the qoute because you now how sensitive some people can get.

In any event, you can't please them all. I've heard good and bad about every shop, even KD from forum members. False accusations, however, should be better though out before making unjust accusations.

Let's keep the peace. Any of you guys coming up this weekend to Maplegrove??

Wow, that last link has some real big exhaust porting! Could I port my exhaust that big or would I have problems with the intake ports? Are the two directly proportional or can I make them as big as I want independently and not have problems? My exhaust ports are "much" smaller than those. I'll take some pics tomorrow.
