Ported head

[1988starter]

If I were to get ported head would I have to get new valves springs ect or could I use my stock stuff from my current head.

Not sure... normally they only touch the valve seats when doing a valve job... other wise they stay away from the seats, they even use dummy valves to protect them.

The porting on the pic you showed me looked like the made the exhaust ports a little more rounded and the intake ports were widened up by the injector hole.

I think it should work with my stock valves and other parts I e-mailed the guy and I will see what he says but do you think it will ad power nicely.

if you have a good intake and exhaust system it will help. Otherwise I'm not sure. You always want to focus on the most restrictive part of the engine, air and fuel flow are both important.

Currently I have
triflow cam
4-2-1 header
dynomax exhaust
highflow cat
msd 6al blaster 2 coil
magencor wires
iridium plugs
ajustiable fpr
bomz cai K&N filter
modified secondary butterflys
magnetic fuel lines
max timing advance
and centerforce df on a full tranny rebuild.

So it should go well.

hmm i smell BS. puuuu. if i had the time id bring my car down and hand out a few ass whoppings but i aint got the time.

[AccordEpicenter]

sean how much power do you think a ported head will net?

With all those mods, porting the head should help, but do you have an intake? Short ram or CAI will complement those mods well.

You don't need new valve springs unless you are going for serious lift and duration, like 280 / 0.44". That's a mild race cam that may lope at idle and fail emissions.

[1988starter]

I have a cai.

[djsbon]

it would probably be best if you got new valves and shit... ask turfnsurf, his head/intake manifold/throttle body is coming back to him shortly.. and then we'll see how great the porting shit is..
