yeah they are a joke, i always laughed when people told me THE MOTOR WILL BLOW! without this pinhole **** in the engine bay on the heads, get real lol
the fairmont had the 4 port and i kicked that motor all the time so what does that prove? lol
yeah i had the 4 port one my friend gave it to me with the ls1 intake so i used that, easier than fabbing or getting something else.

i had blocked all my steamports as well because my griffin didnt have provisions... never bought into the myth that the rears being blocked would somehow make the #7 piston blowup so i didnt worry when i blocked the front as well.
i killed my stock 5.3 by hitting a 2nd gear trying for 4th... ooops. turned over 8000+ rpm. stock pushrods didnt bend, no valves hit the pistons. all pistons looked absolutely perfect after 6k miles of pure beating the **** out of it. rod bearings just clearanced themselves.. still made it 70 miles home with 15psi oil pressure... less under a load hahaha.

Once he realized he needed less timing and a cooler plug with a non projected tip I don't think Matt kicked the engine anymore after that epiphany. All in the tune, how it's built and the fuel you're using for the amount of boost or nitrous/compression you're running.
