porting exhaust runners on TFS 215cc ??
hi
curious to know if people are porting exhaust runners on ported cnc heads for bigger headers
like for example iīm running TFS 215cc heads on 402ci, and using 1"7/8 kooks now, and itīs definently a lot of material that could be ported out to match the headers
But the question is am i gaining anything on that?
are people doing that here.... or should it be left alone
please come in

A lot of people take brand new CNC'ed heads and send them off to get hand finished too so your not the only one.

You may or may not make gains from this. I would think going from an interrupted exhaust flow to smooth free flowing that you will definitely gain at least something.

but i find that some people donīt agree doing that to LSX heads, i donīt really know why ??
but TFS 215cc heads are perfect for the 346 comboīs

I think theres definitely gains to be had. However, it has to be done right. Theres a reason they are the size shape and angle they are. You dont want to change the angle on the opening and you will also loose bottom end torque with bigger exhaust and bigger headers. Theres alot of fluid dynamics that goes into all that, its alot like back pressure at the cylinder. I dont know enough to explain it, you may just have to do more research on it.
