Port Dimpling??

[mgbrv8]

You know for years I've seen snippets of people dimpling their intake runners after porting. Logically it makes sense because it's the same system that a golf ball utilizes. When you think about its the basics of Bernoulli's principle. Basically what you're doing is reducing the size of the turbulence on the walls of the runners there by inducing laminar flow and decreasing the pressure of the air forced into the runner. As a result you have more volume of air at any given velocity to cram into the cylinder. Sharks also utilize these mechanics with there skin. We all have heard that a mirror finish will never flow as well and one with a light texture. I have yet to see a definitive study on a flow bench. Just claims and few sheets but not a in depth study? I think there is a chance of great power returns that can be gained here I might throw this into my already large pile of projects. ;-)
