Hey all, I was wondering what would be better? Porting the factory eaton and pullying it or save up for a KB 2.6? I don't want anything too outrageous so no mammoth! lol. What can be had from porting the factory eaton m112? Thanks!

porting and pulley with tuning can be a low/mid 11 car. 525+/- is about the most you can get out of an eaton with supporting mods like cooling, fuel, etc. I personally prefer whipple over kb just by sound. also max out at 31psi with the whipple.... there is a video of a ported eaton managing a 10.9 on youtube
