That probably does not have a modular motor in it. Just do what you want it's your money.

it depends on how extensive the head work is. i've been quoted anywhere from $350-750. and that's just the porting, you have to also consider the fact that the heads sold by Fox Lake and them are new. so that balances out the price

adrenaline=lifeline · July 5th, 2008, 12:33 PM

500 for street porting

jivepepper · July 5th, 2008, 01:35 PM

Don't forget all the goodies that should go wit it. Like new valve h/l valve spring, OZ SS valves, bronze guides, titanium retainers, etc.

That will add 600 or so.

DeMello · July 5th, 2008, 02:50 PM

danm....modding is so fucking expensive lol

Street porting lmao.

Then why bother. If you just going leave the stock crap in there.

Go buy yourself a dremel and do it yourself while the heads are still on the car.. That will really save you some money.

HMUSN · July 5th, 2008, 05:51 PM

you could always get some patriot heads.

HMUSN · July 5th, 2008, 05:56 PM

oh.. and no way in hell was that a mod motor..
that screams " I'm a pushrod" in his exhaust note.

It would be better than what he wants to do. I should keep reccomending then to him. lol

520 to the wheel is good for 13psi on a 2v is respectable. Plus it was 30* warmer and my wheels were 40lb heavier this last time.

I'm going to reserve my final judgement on patriot until I retune with the 0Z crank pulley and the 8 rib setup with a slightly smaller sc pulley. Plus I'm getting it tuned somewhere else. Maybe this persoan will actually push the car past 6400 rpm. It was still making power and had plenty of fuel and the maf wasn't near pegging. I have no idea why he stopped?
