John, Dom is soooo right on! I went from 327ish rwhp to est. 400+ rwhp with top end porting and headers. It completely changed the "attitude" of the car. And, the best part is, there is NO LOSS OF DRIVE-ABILITY as result! Completely stock idle. No hit on gas mileage, AC unaffected in traffic...what's not to like?

Need confirmation (of a sort) for this modification? For the LT5 gen-II, Lotus did away completely with the dual runners AND the Secondary Port Throttle concept. The motor made 550 crank HP(?) with a mild cam lift mod, if I understood Graham Behan correctly.

Before and after (including head porting, SW headers, SW "X" pipe and 3" exhausts
