Id port it I think BCS told me about 4 HP or so for the port and polish and prolly 2-3 hp for the cams. But im not really sure.

Do you have a intake if not you will def want one

I did a K&N intake. Is an intake pipe very important? after I did the intake i started reading about getting a bigger intake pipe but cant find JUST the pipe.... have to buy the whole setup?
Who is BCS?

Porting is what makes a motor what it is. Make sure you have someone who knows what there doing when porting.

hey mx and masterp.... what is your quads dynoing?

masterp0606 · 02-12-2009, 09:48 PM

I haven't had mine dynoed yet but it should be about 48 or so right now. And the intake tube is very restricted if you take it off you will amazed as how they even run with that small of an intake its a joke. I would go with an FCI intake its makes about 4 hp over stock you can go to this web site.

That is the link to the intakes and it is an awesome intake I went with the box version.

If you want a few pics of the intake I can email them to you if you want.
