I really don't see any more engine work that Kevin can do other than Cams if he wants to stay FI. And I wouldn't even touch the cams at this point.

The only people that I know of that were ever going to tackle was Rx and well you know the rest....

And I was talking about a mod that you could actual purchase not a 1 off custom porting job lol

You'd be wrong. Yellow glide is in talks with both lmr and ipf to try to get better tuning

That I was unaware of. If they figure something out I will be more than happy to say I was wrong.

Yea, he posted recently about it. I'm skeptical too but I'd like to see decent gains. I think that with tuning from lmr or ipf it may be possible. If gains are had, I don't see why a full bolt on cammed stalled and drag radial LLT can't get into the 12s. I also think that a company that actually knows how to port (read: NOT RX) can get gains out of ported heads

First... but if "POWER" if so important for you, do like everyone else... trade for an SS and then you have a good platform to work on power... better yet get the same color and transfer all your mods... (customization)
