Default How is the port work???

Heads are already on and car seems to pull harder now than before the stock 853 heads. I wanted to get some feedback on how the port work looks and what is your estimated guess on my rwhp that i should be at with my set up..

Thanks

Honestly man, dont really see any major porting, just looks cleaned up... here are my heads, just put down 411rwhp on a dynojet with supporting mods - pretty simular setup to yours but mines an A4.

This is my opinion, but using a dyno to tune is only good for WOT.

I had my car tuned, first changed all the settings, drove around 3 or 4 different times dialing in the airflow, afr, idle, shift points, ect. Then lastly jumped on the dyno. Only minimal changes should be needed once you get to that point.

But just my opinion based on my experience. With my A4 pushing 411 to the wheels with small cam and bolt ons, who am I to complain.

heads u posted look totally untouched. look at the second pics posted and u will see what theyre supposed to look like. the only thing that looks touched on urs is where the seats meet the head behind the valve. look at the guides on the second pics and then look at yours, that where the difference is made
