justinklumb29 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 I am just about ready to send my cylinders out, but cant deciede between the two, eric is cheaper but is his work cheaper?. Iam going to be looking for a trail port (low to mid range) Its more than likely going to be run with fattys and maybe a two into one carb. Quote
bkabina Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 Give Jim a call and talk to him on the phone. Quote
locogato11283 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 i had a passion setup and my brother had a gorr woods port. his bike could keep up with me pretty easily. his bottom end and midrange was unreal and it still pulled hard on top. if i were you i would call eric. cheap porting but his work is by no means cheap. there are several members on this site that have gorr portwork and im pretty sure they have no complaints.

white trash Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 I cant say anything for Gorr, since i have no expierience with him. But i just got my passion motor runnin, and it rips Quote
1800bigk Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 You need to ask yourself a few questions before you decide. 1. how much do I want to spend? 2. how fast do I want to go? 3. how good are my tuning skills. gorr port job = $225 makes 58hp passion regular port = $375 prolly makes similar hp passion 12 port = $500 may make a little more but needs big carbs and big exhaust to get your moneys worth out of it. this port job can be tempermental to tune.

erbilabuc Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 (edited) so you are making 72hp with stock stroke and his cheap port job? Thats awesome considering that his 12 port 4 mil stroker made 77, you are the man! Where did you get it dynoed at? Edited April 3, 2005 by erbilabuc Quote

I love it, its a bottom end port job and it is insane on pavement. i gotta get around to changing out the front sprocket because i have it geared way too low right now, all it does is spin in the dirt.

justinklumb29 Posted April 3, 2005 Author Report Posted April 3, 2005 thanks for all the replies, I think that iam leaning towards eric a little bit, I will give him a call tommorow and talk to him Quote
fastbanshee4u Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 These are not the only people who do porting. If your not a hard core racer the $225 sounds good though. Quote

stclark816 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 i got jims mx port(regular port) and im pushin 72hp 349017[/snapback] Dyno sheet? 72hp, stock stoke, mild woods.mx port is hard to believe. Especially when his 4mm drag port motors are puttin out around 77hp. Im not knockin Jim's work, people say their shit hauls, but that sounds sketchy to me. Quote
H250RHATER Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 he did more porting than the mx port just not a drag or 12 port he opened the ports up more than the regular mx port Quote
