Ported head results, that is!
I was on a travel nursing assignment last year in which I didn't need my car to get around (thank you Boston!) so I decided to treat myself while I had the chance. I contacted Dave at Headgames and briefly discussed about my goals for the car. He suggested their pocket port services for my goals and I decided to get their Ferrea valvetrain as they were already in there. Tiffani at Headgames communicated with me via email every step of the way and kept me informed about the whole process. It took them about a month to finish my head.
Eurowerks Automotive in Pompano Beach did all of the work and they suggested to use headstuds as the headbolts will most likely stretch based on my power goals. The problem was, ARP headstuds was on national backorder (possibly even to this day) and thus my car was down longer than I expected. Thanks to @Jern54 for posting about proseries headstuds from Germany which took only one week for delivery. After the headstuds arrived, my car was good to go, but I definitely needed a retune thanks to the head.
While I was gone, I had left my car on 93 octane as I knew it was going to be sitting for quite some time and didn't want any issues associated with E85. Unfortunately for me, my tuner is now a doctor and a father, so that leaves him basically no time to further tinker with my car, but with what he left me, I think it runs amazing for pump gas and wanted to share my results with the community.
Here is a datalog of my car: https://datazap.me/u/rnmevo9/jh-head-v1?log=0&data=3-21
2007 N54 133k miles
Headgames pocket port with Ferrea valvetrain (stock cams)
RB GF 17t with RB outlets
BMS inlets
VRSF 335d charge pipe with turbosmart raceport bov
VRSF full street exhaust with vibrant resonator
PSP 900ic FMIC and oil cooler with thermostat
PFS Walbro bucket 295 pump
Precision Raceworks fuel regulator assembly with upgraded 8an fuel line
Helix overdrive with their micron filter unit
EOS BMP4 EKP
Tuned by @V8bait
I figured some pump gas people needed some love, so here you go. I am going to pick up some items from PFS and then seek another tuner to tune it on E85 as it is literally everywhere around me. The car drives amazing for pump gas and is much faster than when I had stock turbos running e85. I'll update this thread once I start running it on E85 and maybe some aftermarket camshafts.
Thanks for looking!
