really no sense in getting personal...if I was afraid of the comments then I shouldnt have publicly posted in the first place....

The port hasn't been alter for a longer valve...the issue with CNC'ing is one I will need to work out when I get to that point...I am well aware that there are some thin areas right now that could prove to be an issue....8's would be better as they have thicker castings and would be more forgiving...not necessarliy sure that making the port larger would be beneficial but that would also be an option with them....unfortunately I have a set of 9's so that is what I will be transferring the design to....one way or another...once I am satisfied with the results....
