I Lethal performance a good place to get a ported eaton from and is it worth the money? Also would i need a tune?
Port Eaton?
- Thread starter 02Lightningbolt
- Start date
I'm looking to do the same thing, but I'm getting mine done by Stiegemeier . They're running a sale this summer for porting. Also as I quickly found out when I became a member a tune is a MUST. I have a SCT handheld tuner.
do you also have a lower pulley?
Usually people add a lower pulley before or at the same time as the port.
Edit - If I were you (actually I just did this myself) I would look in the classified section and see if you can pick up a used ported blower. They usually aren't to expensive, and then you can sell you old one to offset some of the cost.

Man from what I heard steig got all his problems worked out..and he suppuse to be the man to see for a port. i wouldnt run anything over a 4 pound pulley combo with a port to be on the safe side. But from what ive read mos people are seeing the most gains when runnin a 6 pounder. Right now Im runnin just a 6 and it made one hell of a diff! Make sure you get some colder plugs, good tune (dyno if available)! Talk to Rick @ Amazon! Best tuner there is! My numbers are in tha sig.

I would see about getting steig. to port your eaton and then slap on a 6# lower. Get a tune for it and go have some fun.
I have no pulley yet. Thanx for all the replys guys i guess ill get the steg.!When i ge the money!
Im pretty deadset on just gettin the stock eaton ported since I really don't care to put that much over 400 to the ground. However instead of gettin a tuner, couldn't i just run a wideband gauge and get a dyno tune instead of shellin out another $400 for a sct/diablo tuner?

Don't shops have these? I've never been around for actual dyno tuning of a car so thats why im asking. I've been around for pulls, but thats something else. If I can avoid spendin another $400 and be good to go that'd be great.
Yes, but the tunners are VIN specific for a tune. Custom Tunners have a program on thier computer that alows them to modify parimters of your PCM, but in order for them to load it onto you vehical, they need to load it onto your hand held.
Thier are set ups out thier that can tune multiple vehicals with a flash tune, but it is very expensive, about a grand. My wife sells them.
Edit: A shop could tune your truck with a custom tune with say, thier own Predator Tunner, but then they would not be able to use it again, only on your truck. Untill the orginal tune is re-installed on your truck. And cleared the Predator of your VIN.

Get a hand held tuner, the dyno places can burn a chip for you but from what I've seen the cost is close to a hand tuner. The other big advantage to a hand tuner is the other things it can do, read and clear codes, data logging etc.
we have been having great results with our new ports... give linn a call for pricing!
