Default Reaction re reduced port size from Ford Motor Sports...

The guys at Ford Motorsports Technical are great.......cept sometimes I feel like you get too much "personal opinion" thrown in on some questions.....

Spoke with one of their guys with some clutch questions........he went into a short disertation on optimizing the 514 Cobra Jet heads by reducing intake and exhaust ports.

This obviously is counterintuitive - he suggested specialized process was adding 100 HP and Lbs at lower to midrange.........(Like we need it).......I've been working on trying to get more air to mine to make sure it's breathing properly at higher RPM........

Curious if anyone else has heard reference to this new approach. Supposedly increases velocity and angle of air into combustion chamber ya da ya da......

FYI mostly.
