LMR can already port the llt head.

Porting the heads dont seem much gain if any at all. I dont see 40hp from a ported head. If so ill be there asap. Only base info I heard was 45 cfm gain

very anxious to see some numbers with the cam or just of the cam, gonna pay the car off end of the year and would put some money in the motor for heads/cams.

Wondering the same...what are the results??

crc91 · 04-28-2014, 01:06 AM

I'd have to look at my email to see who it was but i talked to a guy at LMR about the head porting service and i believe the gain for the LLT he claimed was about 30 rwhp and said it would be similar on the LFX. Wish they would let us know more, maybe ill shoot them another email and see if they'll update their post.

Hopefully this didn't die.

I'm going to try and dig through my email to see if i can get the info the LMR guy sent me

crc91 · 04-28-2014, 03:37 PM

ok guys i sent this back around march 4th when i was shopping for a llt(decided to go new and get a lfx now) but anyway. A guy named jay hammersly was the guy who emailed me from LMR and he said they got a gain of 40rwhp with just the LFX head and that gains would be similar on the LLT as well. I asked him the cost and if it was done on a purely stock lfx and he never did get back to me. He may have gotten busy or my message could've gotten lost in a sea of emails im sure they get daily. but i asked him the price and everything again and hopefully he'll get back to me soon!
