    The ported blower didn't gain you much either.

    Ok...here is my spill about this. THe ported blower is one of those "KR" killing mods that most people over look or blow off...in all honesty it is a great thing to do. Sure you hear it whine more...and your boost might decrease JUST a tad...BUT...your lowering your outlet temps, making the blower more efficient and less parastitic since it is creating less heat and lowering any sort of KR you might have...and getting rid of KR increases horsepower right? The general rule of thumb is every degree of KR is good for 5-7 or so CRANK hp...so figure if you have 2* of KR and that ported blower kills almost all of it...not saying it will but it is possible. With that...if the ported blower kills KR, thus you gain more HP...then say...a cold air intake...or a downpipe? I'm just throwing that out there that not enough people think it is a worthwhile mod...hence why I say get a ported blower and throttle body at the same time to just open it all up...kill 2 birds with 1 stone if you will.
