If the cam has not been changed I would suspect BS on the port job. A port job is not gonna help a stock cammed Raptor one bit.

Gary, I don't know much about his stuff, how can I check and see if my "cam" is a after market one. Also, why wouldn't it help out a raptor if it had a stock cam?

Check on the ends of the cam for distinguishing marks. You have too flow enough air too go beyond the stock intake / exhaust parameters for porting too be effective. The stock cam is under this threshold.

I believe he was talking about turning it upside down and installing it that way...that was for stock linkage...I have an aftermarket linkage and it does not apply cause the lower ride height is already there

When I asked the guy he said sundry dealership(sundry is a town alberta canada). I would have gone to ask the dealership but it's like 6 hours drive away. Come to mind, I may give them a call and see if they remember doing the work.

Do you flip the linkage, as in reverse the mount positions? So you rotate it, right? I didn't think this would really work, but after hearing so much I think I am going to try it.

Same mounting positions, just rotate on the x axis (from front mount to back mount) 180 degrees.
