Hi all, Can anyone recomend a shop to get my wolvy450 head ported and polished.I live in the ny area and can`t seem to find any place thats some what close. Thanks

 

don't spend the extra $150 to have it polished when you may only see a .1 hp gain

 

If all you get .1 hp is it worth it?Also i`m planning on putting a web cam in would that warrant the p&p? thanks

 

Get on either www.moddedraptor.com or www.raptorforum.com and contact velociraptor. He is from AL and does EXCELLENT work at a resonable price and his customer service is second to none. I added about 15 horses to my raptor with his port work, a megacycle X2 cam, and a 12:1 piston. I am not sure if he works on the wolvy heads or not but I do know he does raptors, YFZ heads, and vettes. A port and polish job is only as good as the guy doing it.

 

thanks i`ll check him out.

 

i had my warrior ported and a webcam .430 put in by gassrx.com and he did a fantastic job.. great work.. tell him i referred you. And like i said before.. polishing does almost nothing for performance
lot more pics and info here.. aswell as a way to contact the guy if you wish

warrior head ported by gassrx.com - powersportjunkies.com

 

A port and polish will do a lot for performance IF it is done right. A bad port and polish job could even cost you power. A port and poish job will increase the CFM's a head is capable of flowing and smooth out any rough areas within the head so there is not as much disturbance in the airflow.

 

like i said before.. polishing does MINIMAL!!! why do people not understand this?

 

Polishing won't by itself but porting and polishing will, ask any engine builder.
I have rode 700 raptors with comparable mods to what mine has without the head work and there is a very noticable difference in the power.

 

polishing after porting is what i ment.. there's a thread somewhere about it where a guy did it and saw almost no more power. it's all show.
