Who is doing your porting? Are you keeping the same pipes? Getting bigger carbs? Your best bet would be to just do a plug chop and see if you need to change. I would probably say yes, you will need to change your jetting a little once you get your cylinders ported. Welcome to the addition that we like to call Banshee.

i have T5's, stock carbs. and my friend, a retired mechanic is going to do my porting. is it crucial that i get bigger carbs.? or would it be fine if i just left them.?

If the person doing your porting knows what they are doing, yes, you will need bigger carbs to take advantage of the increased flow rates going in, through and out of your cylinders. You can get away with stock carbs, but you won't be taking advantage of the new-found power without bigger carbs.

 

This is IF the guy knows what he is doing with banshee cylinders. If he hasn't done much work with banshee cylinders in the past I would save your money and get a big-name builder to do it. You will be a lot happier in the end. Jeff at F.A.S.T is good, K&T does my porting, Patriot, Passion... there's a lot of them out there. Call around before you let Joe-Local go after your cylinders with a dremel.

I would call some of the big-name builders and get some quotes and information from them first. They can point you in the right direction. F.A.S.T, K&T, Passion, Patriot, there's lots of them out there. I have K&T do all my porting, but I do all my own work other than that. Everything else is cake, but I don't have the time to go through a bunch of cylinders tinkering and trying to make something that works. I let them do it.

 

Call up jeff at F.A.S.T would be my first suggestion. I've ridden with some people who have his play port and its a good running port job. Makes good power all throughout. Get some quotes and go from there, but I wouldlnt let joe-local touch my cylinders. If you don't know what you are doing you can actually LOSE power.

Any kind of "play" port or "dune" port is what you are looking for. But you want more than just a cleanup port. All a cleanup does is remove casting flaws and maybe open things up a smidge, but you won't see the power you would from a more aggressive port. If Gorr was still in the U.S. I would suggest his port job, I had his cylinders and they kicked major ass.

ok, i'll probably get the dune port.. so i just take off my cylinders, and send them off?. i'll call the number and talk about it. but, i am thinking on getting it done form passion porting. is that good?

Yes it's that simple. As far as passion, i've heard many good things about them. You can't go wrong with choosing any of those builders BigRed listed. If you want to get technical I would personally call all of them and choose from who you think will help you the best, but like I said you cant go wrong with any of them.
