God I hope so. It makes no sense nowadays.

Carl,

I am out now. Last stay was only short - got fixed OK.
thanks

Eric,

YOU DIDN'T THINK YOUR WAY THROUGH THIS ONE!! You are missing at least two points here - cost and the ability to combine porting and a physical workout thus eliminating gym fees.

I agree. That's why when I saw a set I drove 200 miles round trip to buy them. The guy threw a Kinsler injection in the deal to boot.

David, has anything happened with this EQ head recently? Well, aside from sitting there because it's a heavy lump of cast iron :shock:

Dear Mr. Rev Theory esquire, (that's a grand title for a porter with grand potential)

Yes I have done a little more work on these but lets not forget that my recent brain surgery wiped out the best part of ten weeks of my life.

I am non-the-less keen to get back on to these heads to continue the excellent work you did.

As crazy as this may sound, I'd like another crack at them as I *think* I know where I got a little happy with the cutter, especially on the exhaust. I was porting for 500hp nitrous shot, yeah, that's it :lol:

I do have a question regarding the DC if you get a chance. What about that port allowed the DC to only drop that far? All the other ports we messed with seemed to dip to ~.6, give-or-take. The original casting was obviously top-notch.
