larger intake manifold also usually means the same. this is also why i'm not sure how to interpret ludikraut's experience of swapping the ams intake mani and seeing NO spool change... i don't know if this is a fluke or a what because even if we look at ams's own tests on a 9 (mivec) the intake mani made things spool up slower!
Trinydex, you are absolutely correct. I was going off memory, and must be getting senile, since when I looked at the charts again, I realized that my assertions had been incorrect. The effects were as follows:
Adding the AMS VSR intake is what resulted in the later spoolup.
Adding the ported head did not change spoolup, but resulted in less initital torque.
Both mods added topend power.
My apologies to all. I'll fix the earlier post...

... hey looks like I got it right in my second post in this thread. I just brainfarted my first comment ...

Don't make fun, I know its not the best setup but it works
It wasn't dyno ran, they don't have a AWD Dyno so they did it on the street, but they have been tuning evolutions and STIs for 3 years and a friend of mine had really good luck with them, kind of expensive but she runs great now :-)

So... it seems that getting the race port job seems to give up a few hundred rpms on spool up, but with the bigger turbo and camshaft setup, the topend gain past ~3000 rpm is great is what I'm hearing. (I know I'm generalizing)
Does anyone have the bigger camshaft/race port setup with White Rabbit turbo, or 20G turbo setup? What could I expect with this setup?
Feel free to chime in. Thanks.

could you go with some wackjob combo like 280i/264e on a ported head and maintain good spoolup or would there be no point because of the 264 ehaust cam limiting flow anyways?
what about adding a stroker into the mix?
