This turbulence REDUCES your effective flow rate by effectively reducing the USABLE crossectional area for airflow. This is basic airflow theory and if it doesn't make sense, then I suggest you read up on it. I have done my homework on the subject.

Again, I never misrepresent what I sell or what I do, so should you have any further questions, feel free to ask and I will surely clarify them for you.

Oh and the majority of the portwork I do 'only' improves efficiencies so I would check your first statement


Who cares, we were having a good discussion about S3R.
Not arguing about porting, polishing and coating and whether or not any of that does anything except line your pockets.

That's fine man. I monitor this thread a lot and rarely post but there was some question about my services and I defended the theory behind it. No biggie, and not a sales pitch either.

Sorry guys for shoving shit into this thread.... but

Not a sales pitch huh... I forgot... your porting everybody's stuff out of the goodness of your own heart, not for any monetary gain

All you you do is sell snake oil and pipe dreams to uneducated guys who just want to make their car faster

Pretty soon you'll be porting cats and resonators and telling everyone they could pick up 30 easy ponies...

What's next... a ported air filter

Thanks for your responses guys, I enjoy the chat that goes on in this thread. I am pretty set on buying the Mopar stage 3 setup and hearing from you guys just makes me feel even better about it. I am still thoroughly enjoying my stage 2 setup and I love how the car is hassle free while being fun. I'm looking for the same characteristics and stage 3 seems to be my ticket. I never got into the big dyno numbers thing. I just enjoy driving the car everyday and taking it to the track every once and awhile.

Wow....

Yes I make a living helping people go faster. Yes I do it for profit. Am I a millionaire? No. I have made much more at other jobs in my past, but I enjoy this to no end. Oh and I do pay to advertise on here so it's my right to do so here.

For the rest of my rebuttal I will keep it primarily to PM. But do a few things for me before spouting of how much you know about my 'snake oil'. Research laminar flow, Mass flow rate, and also see how many porting specialists there are out there (not just this forum where there are ~3-5+ that do) and see if there is any merit to this trade.

FWIW here's my dyno:



F&F port on exhaust mani and compressor. Peaking over 400 HP/TQ isn't normal for Stage 3 with stock WG. Also, I cannot use HOM unless there is >110 leaded in my tank. Thanks for the increased need for octane Bob.

Who was the individual who recently found an oil leak near the oil cooler? He said it might be the water pump or something to that effect. I too have this strange leak and need some info.

FWIW, someone posted about having stg hybrids. Well, here's my feedback...
I was stg3 everything except for the stg2 w/o pcm. I was really disappointed. I was only spiking 18 psi and holding 14. There car seemed slower then my old stg2 set-up.
I wound up getting an XCal2 and it really woke the car up. However, it was a canned tune so I had some problems and I wasn't really satisfied with it. I don't have the $$$ to get it tuned either.
So, I finally found someone with a stg3 pcm. I cannot wait to put it on either. I'm more plug and play and that's it.
Moral? With stg2 it was meh. With stg0 and the XCal2, ok. With stg3 pcm? It should be right where I want it to be.
