Welp, I was doing some searching on the forums. Seems some of you guys have chatted about this in the past (there is a thread that avos and riski commented on), just wanted to see if since times pass anyone has done this mod? Was talking to some cobra guys and they think it is a good idea, all be it a pretty pricey one for the actual gains.
Nonetheless I am interested, school me.
Here is some marketing;
"After 35 years of*Engine Air Flow*research, Stiegemeier has taken porting to a whole new level. His experience, commitment, and need for speed, the Stage 7 has been born!*. The*Stage 7*Port has an average gain of 10% RWHP. With over 5,000 ported and polished blowers for all different makes and models, we have the experience and dedication to take your air flow need to the next level.
Designs are constantly being tested and updated to assure you the largest HP gains available*guaranteed. All of our airflow test data was recorded using an XF1000 Supercharger Flow bench. The rotors are profiled, blueprinted and timed to the case. After porting all gasket surfaces are checked for flatness and machined if necessary. The machined parts are put through a three phase cleaning process. The last phase consisting of a high pressure 190 degree rotisserie wash. All superchargers are assembled with factory full synthetic grease and oil. All fasteners are torqued to spec. After final assembly the superchargers are spun at speed and checked with an amplified hearing system to ensure you of a perfect assembly. In addition all superchargers are cataloged, numbered and dated."
100hp cant be correct..

The cooler is pretty neat, I would definitely like to hear you guy's opinions.
I hadn't heard of this before, but I would be interested to see how the snout cooler works, there doesn't seem to be much mention of it on the site, unless I'm missing something of course...
I wonder if it is worth it though, the SVT guys seem to think that with the OEM pump it wouldn't work so well as the system is already taxed. Not sure how much truth their is to that.
It may be good in correlation with a bigger pump like the CM90 BL Johnson that forum member Doc suggested.
Either way I am not sure if a killer chiller would be a better set up, but that works off of the freon in the AC system and not the engine cooling system. As I understand.
I am a laymen so I could very well be wrong.
Everyone I talk to about the port job say to go to Brett at Joker Performance for the port, and go to Max Bore for the throttle body job.
Again opinions from those smarter than me are more than welcome.
It's been a bunch of work for not much in the way of gains. If I were to do it over I would have just done an intake elbow, k&n and tossed a 50 shot on there to make it fun at the track. The car does have enough power for the street...
Side note, spoke with Brett From Joker Performance, he will port the charger for around 400$, he said it usually takes about 20hrs on his end so that is quite the deal.. Like I said people speak very highly of his work.
He goes into way more detail than Stag from the sounds of it. Hand polishing.
He will also bore the TB and machine the snout for the 3lb pulley while at it for barely anything extra... So if I do it, he sounds like the go to.
He said not to get the Snout kit from stag as it will see barely any gains and realistically wont drop air temps very much if any.
400$ for 20hrs of high grade craftsmanship is a steal. But my indecisiveness has me at a stand still. The TS beckons me..
Snake Bite Kit, what say ye?
