I'm thinking of getting my Eaton Ported, but I'm curious as to whether it is worth the $600 or not??

How much power should I expect?

What is the best size pulley to run on a ported Eaton?

Mods and Dyno results are in my sig.

Yes...it absolutely is worth it!

Run that 2.93 upper with a 4lb lower.
If you don't want to spend the $$$ I suggest
going with a 2.76 upper.

Not too sure what Steggy's newest port will yield, but
I got 40rwhp/40rwtq while running a 2.76 upper only (no lower).

I am also interested in this.
If I were to get the steggy port what is the best combination to run pulley wise for the most power out of it.
I also intend to do some juice on top of it, in the future.

Definately get the blower ported. 2.93/4lb lower seems to be one of the best combos you can run. Car LOVES N20 as well. If I can be a help in anyway, just let me know or visit www.milehidyno.com!

Can you please elaborate on this? As I would love to get a 50 shot but want to show my wife that it's safe. She insists that if I do get nitrous, she's never riding in my car ever again and will sleep in fear of the car ultimately blowing up. lol.

It is most definitely worth it if you are going to keep the eaton.:beer: I picked up about 50rwhp. It still pulls after the factory blower signs off. Stiegemeier is the only one I would let port my eaton. :thumbsup:

Get a Metco kit, I installed mine last night and the finish is perfect...awesome piece IMO. Billetflow had the best price on the Metco kits...just call them up they don't sell them via there website.

#'s in my sig are with a steggy port and 2.90. I dynoed 440/440 without the port in slightly warmer weather (about 90* vs. the 75* when I dynoed w/ the port) This was all on the same tune also....

Billetflow has a better price than LFP on lower pulley kits? Not from what I've seen.

Was this realized power gains from just adding the port alone, or did you add the 2.76 to the Eaton when you ported it?
