Ported vs stock airhorn
Its winter so time for boring posts
I was surprised at some of the difference in widths in some areas....notice the lip is radiused/blended in AC bump is reduced significantly

Re: Ported vs stock airhorn
So Lee, there was enough metal there to take out and not punch through that air channel?

Re: Ported vs stock airhorn
Aside from opening it up to accommodate say 63mm throttle plates, I think simply grinding out the horn a bit could be stopping short of what might be the better approach, i.e., something like the venturi horns on the Webber carbs maybe???
Something I've been thinking about for a while now... I like the sound of a "cammed" motor too. BUT, I like the surprise factor especially. Whatever pumps up the performance w/o tipping anyone off...heh, heh, heh....
