Ported Heads and Cam
Anyone running Ported and Polished Heads and a Stage 2 Cam?
If so, how do you like it? Is it worth the money?
I am putting on some LTHs and thinking about tossing in a VVT-2 Camshaft and new Heads.

Are you having the heads ported because the cam you're using makes that necessary, or just looking for more power? What extra do you expect by porting the heads over and above just adding the cam? Also, what were the prices for the cam install, and then the head work at TSP? Thanks.

It's running at 162deg, with my 160deg stat and my tune. Making pretty good power for only 4-1/2lbs of boost, almost 800ftlb to the tires. Waiting on a coated upper pulley to cure the slip now. It is going to put down north of 800/800 through the a8. Its at 769/790 on less than 5psi right now

I was naturally aspirated with Vengeance's heads and stage 2 cam prior to adding a blower. I was at 550rwhp. It's all still there with a blower and meth now but still loving the setup. No regrets at all and the cam sounds awesome.

We offer a solid heads/cam combination, or just the CNC ported heads for exchange for your OEM heads. I've listed a link below if you're interested in our setup, and I'll be happy to answer any questions that you may have!

The marketing was that these slits served as "teeth" for added traction, but I think the ACTUAL reason it worked so well was that it allows for air to escape so the belt does not float.
I think you could do that with a drill, though I've never tried.
