are you talking hp/$ or just flat out who will make the most power out of the port(no price range)


That will TOTTALLY sway the results one way or the other. Both porters have a distinct market, however BOTH will make you smile with the results!

I bought mine from Ron@vengeance and it gave me over20rwhp over my ls6
Ill explain.I use to be just cammed(tr224/112 A4) and made 348rwhp,well bought heads(TSP 5.3l heads) and asked what it would add to an A4,and they said 35,but i think it was good for 40rwhp(great for budget heads!),but still that would put me at 390rwhp,and i wanted to be over 400,so i added the ported fast and got 410rwhp 400ft so far.The reason i say so far is cuz the numbers were still going up then bang! my driveshaft took a crap.Ive got about 10 more rwhp.Hope this helps

AFR charges just over $500 for the FAST porting. This was quoted to me on a 90mm setup. 78mm maybe different.

Dang! I thought it was like $200. That's kinda crazy for porting some plastic.

6 of one half dozen another. They ( Vengeance & AFR ) seem to know what they are doing. Coin toss and a phone call is all it will take.

I've taken one apart to tweak the porting myself. They're a time-intensive PITA , so the cost is fairly reasonable.

Nail.... Head.... swing... I dont think anyone can go wrong with Tony or myself... We both seem to have quite a bit of real world results out there that speak for our work.

FWIW, our pricing is 325.00 on customer supplied intakes and 275.00 if the intake is purchased through Vengeance Racing.

That is what I was thinking, Unless I got a Uber good deal on a used 90mm FAST, id just buy it right from him.

I've been talking to Ron through emails. Looks like I will be buying one already ported through him in the next month or two.

With that kind of price difference, I'm going with Ron. I don't know how big a difference there could be between the 2.

hey ron, when you port your fast intakes, do you also disasemble them and do some port work internally?

I got Tony Mamo to port mine but that was before I found out about Ron and Mike @ Vengeance Racing. Tony does world class porting work. So does Vengeance Racing. Tony charges a couple of hundred dollars more than Vengeance on a customer supplied intake. I don't think you can go wrong with either one but the $$ savings going with Vengeance is significant. I'd go with Vengeance if I had to do it all over again. Just my opinion of course.
