Anyone have any experiance with these ported intakes for the 6.4? I was talking with Pat from KEM and he turned me on to these. Just wondering if anyone has one or if they know anyone else with one and what they think about them.
Soot Powered Ported Intake?

I was wondering the same,how big of an improvement it makes. I might get one later down the road.

What does good head work look like? I thought good head work = cfm ?

Yes, but typically people think that high flow capabilities means the best option. But when people hog out parts you indirectly can hinder velocity.

Huh? When a head is ported its flowed. If the work is more efficient , the head will flow more , period. Surface condition and volume are the culprits of head work. How many sets of heads have you had flowed before and after? The same how for a manifold. The proof is in the flow bench and the data that follows.

I think he is referring to poor porting work, Mike.
I know of quite a few people that had head work done and got nothing back in terms of flow data. I thought this was incredible stupid.. but wasn't my money or heads.. same ol' story.. it was a guy thats been porting for 40 years.. blah blah blah..

Im not trying to hammer anybody, but hearing "you should SEE his head work" just made no sense.

agreed.. before and after flow sheets are sexier.. haha..
While we are on the subject.. when you get flow results do you get them on every cylinder? I've only seen where they flow one

I've never had a sheet that showed each cylinder. But usually the tooling is repeatable so it's not an issue. The polishing is so small of a factor I don't think it could cause much of a variance. I've had 3 sets of 7.3 heads done and 1 set of 6.4 heads. The 6.4 heads had the most to gain and were by far the most noticeable in spool up and temp. , hard to say on the power increase though.

I was referring to his flow numbers, along with the way he actually ports heads

Steve- what pics are you wanting?

I want to see what makes it different from Mine and Elite's. There are only so many ways to skin a cat, ESPECIALLY when it comes to something thats gonna preform

There are different methods and views on flow...Are you meaning a cutaway?

Yup. Its usually classified as "The right way and the wrong way".....
Just post some pics of the 6.4 and 6.0 manifolds, please. Exterior, interior, both, I don't care.

I will speak with Matt about it...but exterior wise you can only look so much different, also there are different things you can do to make them have a higher velocity
