- a guess is what I was looking for. Since you've actually played with one of these blowers, I figure your guess is probably better than mine.
- Yeah, that's what I was thinking on the port work. The inlet on the GTP style blower looks to be much better than the T-Bird type though. Looks like I'm probably gonna cut back a bit behind the TB mount and heliarch back in.(keeping away from the main rotor area, and tacking in small amounts to not flex/stress the case) Doing so will make plumbing and TB mounting much easier, and i can do a some nice porting while its open. Port work itself doesn't scare me, so I'll be doing all I can. For the outlet, I figure a slight oversizing of the "v" and chamfering the edge, plus slight oversize and chamfer of the silencers outlets. - this is what I've heard/seen from e-net searching. - Sound about right???
- also, got a recommendation on inlet/outlet ducting size?

A lot of the sizeing depends on the throttle body and other plumbing that you use. My brother's car uses a 3.5" inlet and a 3" outlet
