Re: high velocity vs. huge porting

Don't be fooled by different names of porting. Porting is all about getting quantity and quality charge through the head and into the combustion chamber. Then doing what is necessary to keep it in place until it needs to be extracted. Proper porting keeps the port as small as possible while still providing the needed flow for the application. There are ways to trick the flow into thinking the port is straighter, bigger, smaller, etc. It's a balance. Anyone that says high velocity porting is the only way to go is an idiot. Anyone that says making it big is the only way to create power is an equal idiot.
