Hey I'm looking for a shop that can street port my S4's 13b. I live in the eastbay, and I know there area few rotary shops in my area, the closest being PR Motorsports. Also, from experience, about how much does a street port cost? How many hours of work is it?

I've read that a street port usually gives about 180HP. I'm aiming for about 200HP, if I upgrade the intake, and get a new exhaust system with a high-flow cat, would I be able to accomplish my goal?

Also, any suggestions for shops that bend custom exhausts? It just seems like a much more practical solution and definitely cheaper.

Thanks for the help!

Non turbo? You're going to need quite a bit of porting to get 200 at the flywheel.... 200 at the wheels, maybe a bridge port. Sorry I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but 200 hp from an N/A is not easy... Intake, headers, full exhaust, no cat. Or even with a cat.

Of course best of luck to you and this is just my opinion... but its alot easier to get 200 from a TII then an N/A. Might even be borderline on cheaper too.

I should've come to visit when I went to Jennifer's last week.

How long are you going to be around? Jennifer is coming up weekend after this so if you're still here we should go to dinner or something.

Zach left for Guam on Tuesday and he'll be back in August, maybe late July. In the meantime, I'm working pretty much 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. But if you're in the area, give me a call-we can meet up or something
