Whats the best port for...

[flattrakker]

This winter I will be racing Flat Track Oval Studded class. I was wondering what style port job would give me the edge that everyone else doesnt have. I will be calling some builders that everyone likes on here such as jeff and herrjugsracing. please give me your input tho. Thanks

I would say either a drsg port or a dune port, cause you will be spending most of your time in the mid to upper rpms anyway!!

And get rid of the air box....put some pod filters with outerwears on...let it breathe.

I agree...aggressive dune port or drag port....

 

I'd probably lean more towards the dune port because you won't be holding it WOT the whole time...you gotta slow down for the curves (a little...he he he..)

I agree with a Dune port also.. Your gonna want to retain some bottom end.

you need a tt or dune port most biulders have nice porting for tt.. you will retain lowend power and /or torque and will need this to power out of the corners and also in the starts.. alot of tt races are won at the starting line and corners not the straights..

If your traction issues are good, TT or a Hot MX port with broad usable power will work best. Drag ports are too explosive for hook off the turn, duners make power too late for effective acceleration off tractable turns, and you usually dont have long enough straights to need mega top end unless your running 1/2 miles.. Broad tractable power makes the best short track engine by far. You can pull more gear, shift less. and have better lap times....Jim

The most important thing is talk to whomever is porting your motor...and be VERY specific about exactly what you're going to be doing.

 

One man's dune port is another man's drag port, another's MX port might be their dune port....

 

That's why I never buy into the "Stage1, 2...3...etc." porting.

It's like a pair of shoes, get what fits (of course...you can't just go try 'em on...the only downside...)
