Default Ported head or not??

Hi,

Anyone know if this head has been ported? By the look for it I would say yes....I wouldnt have thought a standard head would have such sharp inlet / exhaust ports?

Anyone tell be the pics below??

Cheers

2wd goes higher than the 4x4. 4x4 gives you a little better spoolup

4x4 is a bit better good for about 460ish again when going for 500hp you wouldnt use 4x4..

2wd is good for around 390's iirc

you could go eec 4/small turbo escort cossie inlet,

then rs500,

then swedish,

use swedish as a last resort if your looking for less that 500hp because its designed for 700+hp and it goves no throttle response !!
