That thing is going to be making some good power, I have a feeling. Looks good, but do you have any closer pics of the ports? I'd like to see how smooth you've made them.

In my street port engine, I made them really smooth, close to mirror finish... but not mirror finish

In the half bridge, I went with a 180 grit finish, cause I´ve read Judge Itos recomendation to go that way if you use nitrous

your fine...like i told you in your other thread...Your bride is good...As like in your other thread bring the bottom of the bridge down even with the bottom of the main port...You are going to feel the difference in performance for sure.

Thanks Teddy.

I`ve been working on my bridge following your sugestions. I also got the Mazdatrix dvd on porting, and Im using a few of their tricks as well
