Hope a lot more people chime in.... With the 100s of "catch can" threads out there with tons of posts and information, thought this thread would gain more comments/experiences from us performance guys

Yes, between catch can threads, CAI threads, "Do I need a tune?" threads, it is nice to see something different.

And the occasional "How to put the car away for winter" and "Car Care/Paint Protection" Lol

I also enjoy the DIY theads. Porting is not that hard but with the right tools and a good amount of time (that's why I am doing it during winter months so I can take my time and do it right) and common sense the job is not that bad I will just keep this thread going with my progress. Going to take her out this weekend for her last blast of 2015 not breaking any traffic laws LMAO. Probably start next week end. Thanks

You should put a 102 and have it port matched to your snout you will see big gains for sure. Will keep you guys posted. Yes I have ported a thing or to in my day . Like I said in last post right tools+time+effort =success

I'm very curious as to what power gains I can realize by getting my blower/snout/heads ported. I have a manual trans and am currently at 685HP/640TQ at the wheels, but I have 97 octane tune to achieve those numbers. Would like to get 725HP or more, but do it on 93 octane. Living just outside Philly, its fix'n to get cold soon, so this would be a great winter project! I'm in exploratory mode at the moment and emailed Fasterproms for a quote. Something to ponder over the holidays....

If he doesn't email you back, give Jeremy a call on his cell which I believe is on his website. I used to have it, but some of my numbers were lost when I got a new phone. What do you have done to your car so far and who tuned it?

Hey, Dutch
I have JRE road race cam (rough idle), ID-850's, JMS BAP, 22% lower/stock upper, Rotofab CAI, Big Gulp, Pfadt Tri-Y and Dynatech super flow cats. Ted did the tune. Car sounds and drives great, but you know how it goes.... Once you get used to the power, you start wanting more. Damn-it, it's a sickness that knows only one cure.... More Power!

Thanks for the insight regarding Jeremy. I'll hang tight for a while, and if I don't get an email response, I'll try giving him a call.

I am happy with where I am at right now performance wise. I was quite shocked with the numbers the car put down. I was shooting for 700rwhp/700rwtq! I want to get my windows tinted and Weld RT-S drag pak in 2016. It is time to get it down to the track and start getting practice. I have no interest in nitrous or swapping out the blower for an aftermarket. No interest in Methanol Injection either. Are you looking at getting your heads ported?

Yes, sir..

If I do get everything ported, it will obviously reduce back pressure so I may drop the lower pulley down to 10% and then throw on a 2.55 upper.

I am installing that cam this winter how do you like it? Ted and his crew are great to deal with. If you port blower snout heads you will be well over 700 on 93 for sure good luck with your build

I was hoping so. Yes that is the set-up I am running. 2.55 upper and 10% lower. Jeremy also ported my heads as well as milled them.

Thanks, Mike

I agree, the entire JRE crew were great to work with. As for the cam, I'm really happy with it. It has that old-school muscle car lope at idle and the sound to go along with it!

For the most part, the cam has good street manners but if you have a manual and get stuck in slow/creeping traffic, you'll have to clutch it a little more than you would do with the stock cam, else the car will lurch a little. I would think that is to be expected.

Ah okay.... I'll ask Jeremy about the potential benefits of milling in addition to the porting.
