This engine is not ported, but my spare engine is getting proted as we speak.  I have a new and improved cowl outlet that is letting me cool better in a climb, but I am still limited to about 600 FPM continuous (31"MAP).  I know that I need to open up my exhaust (read: bigger turbo) before things will really improve.  Also, one of these days I will get serious about exploring the 40's (40"MAP had higher) with some high octaine gas and a knock sensor.
 
Had a great day of flying today, and starting my IFR training next week.

Nice find Dave.  Is your engine ported?  1800 is still about the best I can do for idle, which is OK, but eventually, I want to try to get that down some.  My engine is ported, so I wonder if the idle will ever be good at 1000.  Certainly not my biggest problem at the moment.

 
Cheers,
Rusty
