who can do a good cylinder head porting?

Never read the whole tiring thread. Been said B4... you dont pick up dick without a cam LT's and tune. Full CNC port on stock engine a waste of $$$. Sorry for the repeat answer. My buddy picked up close to 40 at the wheels with AI 280cc and dyno tune with TQ 110 cam. .015 mill. power everywhere.

Here is a thread a customer of our post on the CF, He made 625rwhp with a set of our ported LS7 heads.
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1596020326

Our Ported heads with the stock cam:


We focus heavily on intake air velocity when porting our heads which is something most cylinder head porters ignore. As a result our heads have a shelf like torque curve that translate into power early in the power band a set of heads that not only flows well but produces real world HP and TQ at an RPM that is usable.

Any updated info on CNC head porting only, with a MSD intake and cam upgrade?

I went to your website and sent you a message earlier regarding a quote for just CNC porting.

Just wondering what I should expect to gain for HP with doing the CNC porting only on a LS7 with an MSD and BTR 3 cam and if it's worth the expense for just the CNC porting... my heads have otherwise been redone and are ready to go in.

Just sent you an email reply sir!

We typically see gains of 18-20rwhp when using our CNC ported package 4 heads with the stock cam and gains of 25rwhp + when using our CNC ported Package 4 heads with aftermarket cams (the aftermarket cams take advantage of the higher lift flow that the sock cam lift does not get to).
Also if your installing our CNC ported heads with a stock cam there is not a requirement to tune like with many other CNC ported heads out there. You can always optimize your setup with a good tune but its not required to pickup power as the computer does have some ability to adjust fueling, ect...
