Want to make more power out of a 260

[Fairbanksrabbit]

Want to make more power out of a 260, Looking for the most bang for buck. Have done the 1 inch spacer on the intake and tighter heads with reeds. What should I do next? It's on a 18 ft charger stv.

Not much HP left in bolt ons to be honest unless your willing to spend a good chunk of $$ having it ported. LOTS left right there in the right hands. Just a matter how much you wanna spend.

[Fairbanksrabbit]

How much porting? and what type? exhaust chest turn downs, intake porting?

[Fairbanksrabbit]

And who does the best porting to make the most power?

Yes , the chest & intake will need extensive work to see a significant gain in power. Several good choices out there . However Most are proud of their work & costly i.e. diamond marine , PPE, etc

I added nitrous to my 260, you could add a 75 dry shot on the horn. Got to be real careful and can only be used on hole shot with fuel % added to ECU. To use whole pass has to be a wet shot. Not sure if you're just lake drag racing or what.

Just my lake boat, No NOS for me.... lol I just would like to go faster and have move power.

I've been told a 260 is about equal to a Drag with pump gas heads up to a point. The Drag should wind higher tho. If you want acceleration vs top end you will need compression also. Get factory tight heads or after-market with a proper squish band.

Make sure if u send to be ported its in the right hands. Listen to taylor he has one of the best running 260 ive ever seen. Id put it against any drag

I'm sorry, I do not know who Taylor is?
