Posi and I currently arent on speaking terms but he really does have the best ports of any I have seen. They outflow, outpower and stay cooler than any on the market. His ports can be hard to find but is well worth it. I come from the mustang world so I have dealt with these eatons since 02 lol. Before that I dealt with supercoupes.

Find out who ported it first. I have seen some "porters" that mangle them and they make **** for power afterwards. Go with a known porter IMHO

I asked the seller and he said he wasn't sure :/. I'll probably just get it running on this blower then upgrade in the near future. More than likely before the end of the year. I know the blower is probably the most restrictive part of my intake. The flow numbers on these heads are impressive

The blower will be your bottleneck for sure. Good idea on skipping it. All reputable porters will mark their blowers.

How much can I expect to gain from a good pprted blower? Maybe it's worth just doing it now

TBH people have seen 490ish/500ish with a ported blower and supporting mods (tb, inlet and cai).

I was hoping to see at least that how it sits. I have a higher CR and those trick flows heads tho so I think it's doable. I just have the stock inlet and TB but I might port the inlet.

Those numbers are with stock heads, c/r and 8# or 10# pulleys I believe. Yours should be higher.

Yeah I think I'm just gonna keep the intake somewhat stock for now. I have a Cai and ba2600. I'll port the TB and plenum before I put it all together. I'll get a ported blower, bigger plenum, and SBTB eventually. If I can hit 600hp/650ftlb at the crank on the m112 i would be super happy.
