Is there such a thing as a ported Heartbeat or are these pretty much maxed out?

The Heartbeat blower uses a stamped lid and all surfaces inside the blower are already smooth. It does not have the rough sand casting surface that improves with porting. They are pretty much maxed out from the factory.

There is room for improvement with the snout of a heartbeat.

Thanks for the reply Jessrayo.
I'm researching my options on blowers and there isn't a lot to pic from.
I called Whipple and there coming out with a 4.5 front inlet but not sure on when it will be out. They also said a 2.9 is a waste of time for us.

If you totally max out the stock blower you can get a little more power from the heartbeat but in my opinion you are best to stay with the stock 1.9, if you need more than 800 whp that will give you then I say add turbos. I'm trying to run both turbos and supercharger at the same time to get the best of both worlds.

Magnuson offers a bigger snout option.

Has anyone tried to port match the runners to a nice set of ported heads and how hard can you spin one of these?

So are there any benefits from a heartbeat than the stock blower? Other than probably durability at same power levels since you'll probably overdrive the stock unit to the max.
