Eh.. Ports..
Who needs them? :) |

Also, you are correct. The original plan was to pull the motor and go ahead and rebuild and port, but it just kept growing. Now its just sort of fun to see what I can do with the stockport. Believe me, its a wild ride. Once the motor pops, you can definately count on a mild port, but in my opinion, how much more then 430 do I REALLY need? |

If the motor pops, I will definately port. But it wont be as aggressive as you might think.

I see them around 300 hp #s, but I know they do not have much top end power and is mostly midrange. Well, thats how my 1.8 Miata felt, but then again I didn't have turbo. I know Miata's are light, but its all about powerband, not peak hp, right? Either way, I ain't racing him, we are just competing in hp #s for the Dynoday event next year.
turbo miatas are a completely different story |
