on another note powerwrx, if you read my spec youi will see i went the whole hog and spent a fortune. Now although Bob Rawle got me where i should have been, i still ofthenthink about ported headers, etc.
I still feel even now i am spooling too late, or obviously later then the TD04 i had on.
I must say if i am being honest, i would love to try my car with ported headers and Bob's mapping and then compare against what it is now.
But alas, the money i have spent means this is not an option for me.
But i would and do advise people to go the ported way rather than spend what i did! Go for it, map it, and enjoy it! And as one sad TV pundit would say, compared to any other option, the ported headers are 'as cheap as chips!"

 

MaDaSS, don't you really rate the Tubular Headers??

 

They serve a purpose, but i do sometimes think that ported would have been better yes. There is no doubt it is by far cheaper for the gains i would say, certainly for my 'meagre' power needs.
For big power you need them. For my territory you dont.
I had money, a fool and his money are easily parted.

 

I see what you mean.

Think I will still go Tubular, as I will be going over 400.

Thanks
