In my opinion ported cages are by far the best way to go.

Some say its even better than vforce...

PM member 370Banshee, that's what he does.

Would there be a diff from single pedals to the full pedal as shown above?

That's what I'm putting on mine are ported stock cages, and boysen dual stage reeds.

 

My buddy Jared runs these with good results (he also runs VF3's so this is not to say they're better, but definitely cheaper LOL).

 

I would also like to see some pics of ported stockers. I plan on really going all out on mine and opening them up as much as I can. Just don't want to go too far.

Here are a few pics for ya, not real good ones but I hope they help.

Thanks,

 

Is there a way to make the pic bigger?

I smooth out the lip on the outer edges, knife edge the bridges and cut them to match the windows on my boyesens. I also blend in the transition in front of the screws and knife edge the bridge along the lip of the reed. The only thing you might be able to do to open them up more is to cut the bridges down more for single stage reeds. The outer edges are as far as you can cut once the lip is smoothed. Don't cut the ruber right where the reed touches the cage. Hope that all helps.
