Undercover cnc porting?

Charlie,
The problem I see is that it does not have the defined tool path direction changes of a machine cut. Machine port work stands out to anyone that has seen it before.

I thought I did pretty well following the contours.

If I were the inspector, first thing I would think is "he's run a sand roll over the cnc work.....why would he do that? There must be more to this......"

You wouldn't get a pass from me without some serious explaining....

Wow cnc port cheaters,Unbelievable here they let you have a ported head and still that’s not enough,let’s just cheat it and see how much we can get away with.

I am not a fan of cheaters. I would rather win through hard work and research. It was an interesting conversation between the racer and the cnc guy. The cnc guy didn't like calling it cheating he called it," Seeking a horsepower advantage!"

I did that fake cnc cut on a stock intake and exhaust and with the roughest texture I can imagine flow increased. Yes, the port volume went up and the shape was as similar to stock as I could keep. The increase in flow was not across all lifts. Thanks, Charlie

It's easy to do i have done a lot of it . If your wanting to cover up a CNC head or a hand ported you need a pressure pot type blast cabinet and steel shot stone the whole port tape everything with Gorilla tape you don't want to blast like machined surface plug guide bores and put old spark plugs in and play with air pressure in the cabinet

Your name actually came up in the conversation between cnc guy and racer guy.

I’ve seen a variety of “optimized” heads over the years, done in a variety of different ways, that had varying degrees of the “stock” look.

They’ve never looked truely “stock” to me, but I could see where they’d pass tech....... unless there was an actual stock one sitting on the bench next to it.

No go on fooling anyone or cheating as said by Carnut. Dead give away is the cnc grooves. Have Chris Frank cnc ported Ls3 heads and hand ported Ls 7 heads by D. Morgan. Looks as if a builder just went over the cnc program to get the perfect CSA for the intended Rpm. Tweaks...... After the cnc.

I was looking for a set of GM Fastburn heads a few years ago and there were some sets that came up that were 'optimized' but didn't pass tech. There was never enough information for me to make a purchase at the time- went AFR instead.
