BBK sounds like the better deal here...I would like to see what these guys would say.

you would def gain good power with the ported FAST. but its hardly what you could call "bang for the buck"

i picked up ~18hp peak and 12ftlbs of torque peak with my home ported FAST 90/90.

i also picked up 5-12hp and torque from 3000rpm and up...NO loss of low end power. not to mention my torque peak was moved down 500rpm.

thread about it. did as close to an apples-2-apples comparison as possible.
