flattrakker Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 This winter I will be racing Flat Track Oval Studded class. I was wondering what style port job would give me the edge that everyone else doesnt have. I will be calling some builders that everyone likes on here such as jeff and herrjugsracing. please give me your input tho.

badassbanshee479 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I would say either a drsg port or a dune port, cause you will be spending most of your time in the mid to upper rpms anyway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 And get rid of the air box....put some pod filters with outerwears on...let it breathe. I agree...aggressive dune port or drag port.... I'd probably lean more towards the dune port because you won't be holding it WOT the whole time...you gotta slow down for the curves (a little...he he he..)

Your gonna want to retain some bottom end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreak Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 you need a tt or dune port most biulders have nice porting for tt.. you will retain lowend power and /or torque and will need this to power out of the corners and also in the starts.. alot of tt races are won at the starting line and corners not the straights..

PassionRE Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) What he said! :biggrin: If your traction issues are good, TT or a Hot MX port with broad usable power will work best. Drag ports are too explosive for hook off the turn, duners make power too late for effective acceleration off tractable turns, and you usually dont have long enough straights to need mega top end unless your running 1/2 miles.. Broad tractable power makes the best short track engine by far. You can pull more gear, shift less. and have better lap times....Jim Edited September 26, 2007 by PassionRE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 The most important thing is talk to whomever is porting your motor...and be VERY specific about exactly what you're going to be doing. One man's dune port is another man's drag port, another's MX port might be their dune port.... That's why I never buy into the "Stage1, 2...3...etc." porting. It's like a pair of shoes, get what fits (of course...you can't just go try 'em on...the only downside...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
