    Another thought In the case of weather to enlarge intake ports or by how much if inceased hinges on several factors . One I will address is that a wide or perhaps higher port will evacuate the exhaust gasses faster .This in turn should cause a greater pressure differential accross the exhaust...

    I did widden the intake on the 038 Mag a tad bit ,not much .The Av was just buffed a bit ,most likely only enlarged less than 5 thou . I only took the exhaust on the AV out about 20 thou on each side,the Mag was about 40 each . I kind of guessed at what size extra hole to drill in the Av cover...

    the ports Changing the actual port timing in a two cycle is about the same as using a special grind camshaft in a 4 cycle.
