They probably have improved their cnc program by now.

Are you wanting a class motor head or best bang for the buc job? Hand porting involves digging deeper in the pocketbook as a general rule.
Something beyond class racer specs!lol.

IF you are looking for big flow on the high ports why not go to Kauffman. I have been talking with Jeff over the past few days about upping my game. My current High Ports which were done by Kauffman about 7 years ago flowed 403 cfm. Now we're going to do the 430 cfm port job along with some other changes to the top of the engine. Going from 1,300hp to roughly 1,700hp. If you want to move air, Jeff's definitely got it dialed in.

hope to make around the same with the procharger street/strip setup this year. Probably go with a v head tho.

Can KRE port a cast intake to keep up with this 430cfm head or is their only options a sheetmetal intake and 2 fours?

1300 to 1700 is a big step up in motor and chassis.

Good luck in 2015!

This sounds like a very sensible alternative, I must look into this, it's their product, so who would know it better than them?

Lots! But it all depends on what you're looking for.

Its not about knowing the head, its about knowing what you're doing and knowing how an engine and induction system works.

This makes sense. You wouldn't go to Edelbrock for the best set of ported eheads.

I guess it does to some people.



Edelbrock isn't in the head porting business, they're in it for the money mainly.
(and not a Pontiac only company)



KRE is in the business of making Pontiac power.
