I'm still not entirely sold to Comp Cams - they require no mods to the heads and retains the VCT - I use mine as DD so drive-ability is the key for me.
I'm afraid that it may not be so sweet with blocked VCT anymore.

According to this S550's Coyote valve-train:
-37,3mm and 13mm lift for intake
-31,8mm and 13mm lift for exhaust
Boss 302 valve-train:
-37mm and 12mm lift for intake
-31,8mm and 13mm lift for exhaust...
If you want to stay with stock rotating assembly than there's no need for machining the "bowls" - if you want new rods and pistons than hey ho, why not :thumbsup:
For now I shall stick with bolt on's only. Keep in mind that S550 heads supposedly flow even better than Boss heads. Honestly whole...

"Wouldn't porting the heads increase the volume of the combustion chamber"
Porting process has nothing to do with combustion chambers since they are not machined - they might be machined but this is rather not the part of the deal.
If you go with the bigger valves the piston...
Then again some do not ship overseas and you get what you can :shrug:
Always thought that is "licensed" product but I guess I was wrong?
Not sure about that since I don't know who makes them...I'm not in any gang either to know what's TABU and what's not ;)
Yup, works a treat! No noticeable wheel hop anymore.
I got this version tho:

Only because I din't like the BMR colors and this one is in OEM black.
I would recommend doing the vertical links at the same time but it will be...
No because combustion occurs with valves closed so why on earth would you ever add intake/exhaust channels CC to combustion chamber?
Why no lighter rods/pistons? Cuz this would require stripping the engine down not to mention of "internal balancing"...
Cool, pls share all the info. I really like those!
The manufacturer seems legit - website turns to be from Japan but the factory address leads to Taiwan - either way they are not from China.
Thanks m8 :cheers:
More pics - with wifey and with second toy :headbang:
Small update.
Fitted the valance and quads - just for reference. I don't have my welder with me so it's needs to wait 2 weeks for the next parts :shrug:
No time for quality pics either - that has to wait as well.
I always loved the quad exhaust in S550 - not much of a choice then to buy a Roush valance.
Back to CAD. Felx pipes, extra resonators and quad tips pictured.
Meanwhile I spent some extra time under that car and measured everything so I could sketch everything properly:
I'm going to...
I finally bought myself a new TIG welder - much better now:
Anyways - I need to find a better solution for my x-pipe. I also have an issue - everything runs just fine
if I leave the Remus flaps open - LOUD as hell. I like my neighbors but they might start not liking me :lol:
Remus with...
Addressing the exhaust.
Kooks was a good deal from ebay - bought it cheap, really cheap. But there was one problem - all Kookers steps down to 2,5" just right
before where the OEM resonator used to be. If you want something different you need a cat-back from Kooks - that's right.
Basically...
