Re: Intake Manifold Porting Show ‘n Tell

Wow, those pictures are great. Thanks Chad, I can see to some degree how you are making the runner length more equal. You and others have shown me much by pictures and dialogue that I can understand.

Re: Does quench affect power?

For what it's worth. The combination I had was an SRP 4032 Piston that was 420 Grams, plus the rings pin and clips, don't remember those numbers. 5.7 Scat, proComp rod for strokers, 5.7 length on a Scat std weight 9000 cast crank. Externally balanced.
