I have a Trick Flow top end that needs ported. Who does good/great work? Who did you use? I have heard of different places but I want to hear from someone who had it done w/ results! :thmbsup:

or Fox-lake
If your gonna get the heads & intake done up, then i'd reccomend a custom cam. www.camshaftinnovations.com
Talk to Jay, he can lead you down the path you wanna go.

As mentioned above www.totalengineairflow.com and www.foxlakeracing.com offer many years of experience, great customer satisfaction and products that work, period.

We dealt alot with Fox lake and were always happy with the results. I'm sending my 00GT heads to them over winter for some port work.
George Seegar used TEA to port his Victor Jr's and they worked on his Holley Systemax intake on his Renegade car. Brian Mitchel also uses them for his Renegade car.

I have some good ideas. I want to see how far I can push this stock rotating asem. The port/valve work and cam I get need to work on my next short block combo!:thmbsup: That is the issue

Stick with the T.W.'s and work on the peripherals. There is a lot to be gained there. The dyno session we spoke of will take the guessing games out of optimizing shift rpm. There is some power to be discovered with fuel press. adjustments and perhaps dialing in the timing. Increasing the torque multiplication i.e., gear swap is going to drop the 60' and 330' incrementals. Finding a more desirable weight distribution will help with the loading/unloading/loading you experienced when the launch rpm was increased. You might want to think about an adjustable shock for that reason as well. I believe you have the basic combination down, now it is just tying in all the other aspects and getting them to work for you, not against you. You'd be surprised how many people waste a lot of the power they already have and end up adding more power and are still disappointed with the performance or lack there of.
