I borrowed the first group of pictures from s2ksall. They show the porting you get from Endyn/Hytech. The second group of pictures is an Alaniz head showing the porting you get with the Alaniz head. I can't find my Portflow pictures so if anyone has some please post.

This is after ENDYN/HYTECH got a hold of it.












These are ALANIZ workmanship:












A picture is worth a thousand words, here is a couple comparisons.

Here is my Port Flow/Laskey built Stage 3 head. The intake and exhaust runners aren't quite as sharp as Phil's, but this head is making fantastic power for me.

 

man that alaniz head looks great!! If i gave them a spare head i have what is the price range? Im sure its much different than when i had my b series head done by portflow

 

I personally like the portflow with the Alaniz a close second. Ive heard that "knifing" isnt necessarily a good thing.

with Sideways. I went with PortFlow, as I did not want to go through all the crap with having to rely on Joe to actually put something out on time. I had the same thing with my turbo kit, and did not want to go through that with the motor as well... I have seen a few Alaniz heads that were screwed up, though... Like member ERLS2000 (I think that is his name)... But I am sure there are a few Port Flow and ENDYN heads that have failed too... Kind of the nature of modifying things...

Plus, the Port Flow head is 1/2 the price of the Alaniz head you are selling (but then again, you should get a bit of a premium for fronting the money / time.

Joe is an artist, and we all know how artists are when it comes to meeting deadlines...

I'd go with the Portflow/Laskey head as well since I would also send my bottom end to Laskey if I never needed/wanted to build my motor.

Plus, they're still in business and it looks like downtime is weeks rather than months/years.

 

i know this has probably been discussed before, but what kind of power numbers are we talking here? And what type of setup would benefit most from this? I have greddy turbo setup- would the cost be worth the benefit or is money better sent elsewhere for ~300whp setup

 

With my guess of 12% to 14% then 300rwhp results in 36 to 42 additional rwhp with an Alaniz head.

I have no experience with the others.

 

I had my cylinder head hand ported and polished by Mr Vinny Ten. I will post up some pics this evening.


in case some people arent familier with him put the supra on the map when it comes to drag racing as well as the nissan 350z
