IK180 IK200
Intake exhaust intake exhaust
.200 138 112 .200 123 100
.300 188 149 .300 181 145
.400 234 167 .400 230 164
.500 243 175 .500 253 171
.600 245 178 .600 261 176
the cam is 230 dur. with a .500 lift
i much rather go with a smaller port, but the added flow could add quite a bit of top end power, also i hear of lot of stories guys putting smaller port heads (170-180cc) on their 355's and 383's and then bumping up to the larger port 190-210 and not lose any low end torque ,but gained a lot of top end horsepower. any suggestions would be awesome.
How many rpm's will the engine see?
