+ 1 to Jim.

I had heard what Maine said before from Gary at MWR, but then heard that Boosted and Kris both have had some good success with porting...

Taking their word for it that the porting is helping the head flow and unleashes some power, then it's a good mod even for a blown engine. More NA power is a good thing! It will still need tuning and Charles in Charge of that for the OEM ECU...

Best,

Whoever thought working on a Lotus is hard, clearly hasn't tried it. Pick up a wrench and get some grease under your nails
