I don't get it... EVERY ported blower I see looks so incredibly ROUGH.

Anyway, what are the goals with the car? Have a number in mind?

Your not going to pick up much by polishing everything I just used 120 grit as my final pass polishing everything is super labor intensive for not alot of gain. I'm hoping for around 700hp with headers, hx and trunk water tank.

Don't take it the wrong way. I was just curious, that's all. I personally wouldn't want it "polished" either.

Should be peppy when she's all done.

You are not going to get 700 hp on stock heads, LS9 cam, and pump gasoline. Maybe with E85 and a manual trans, on a generous dyno.

Well I really was not talking rwhp 700 crank but I guess you set a goal for me to get 700rwhp on a dynojet dyno with my current heads and cam I'll be using meth injection not e85.

ANYWAY,

What did you wind up gapping the plugs at so you weren't blowing out the spark?

My apologies, I'm so used to everyone referring to chassis dyno numbers.

Your 700 is quite attainable basing it on an approx 150 hp gain over stock.

Best of luck.

PS, for some reason, I can't get my signature to show up.

Did you open up the discharge area for the rotors? I wonder if this makes a difference.

I added a vent and opened the main port you have to be careful not to over advance the rotor timing and lose your seal.

Not sure whose blowers port work your looking at, but a lot of them out there that are nowhere near rough port jobs.

Plug gap should be around .025 - .028
