"Typically we would use the CNC to cut the ports the same as Mazda does, down

about 1/8" and then blend and polish by hand. We have not set this up for

bridge porting as of yet due to lack of time."





This would make the best sense of all by my guessing. One of the major factors on power increase due to porting is t he port shape. If this can be done with a CNC and the rest of the runners ported by hand you do not need to worry about the port shape, sliding way with your bit etc.



Cost will be the issue but then again.. I would consider it.
