Bleh. Everybody seems to vanish when they have done something impressive with their cars. I haven't heard a peep about Hams2000's project. Now Sideways is giving us the silent treatment on his project. It's like a government cover-up or something. WTF???

I'll dyno my Toda Header when I get back from vacation (providing there isn't snow on the ground) and let you guys now what I get. How's that!

That would be swell! At least we'll have something to look forward to! When do you get back from vacation?

Be sure that you give full specs on your mods, too! (ECU, headwork, exhaust, etc)

I'm seriously considering sending my head off and doing this myself... If and when I do, I'll post... I promise... From Alaniz's history in motorsport, and the parts they have developed for their heads, I'd feel fairly confident in sending it to them.... May not be a 10 HP gain, but something is better then nothing...

Porting and polishing does not always bring positive results!

Port matching is far more important and polishing reduces the atomization of the fuel air mix resulting in reduced combustion efficiencies.

While this is true, Alaniz spent a signifigant amount of time in R&D before they touched the head... either way I look forward to the results... whenever they are posted
