Yeah I understand what youre saying completely. I'm not gonna lie, money did have a part in not porting. That being said, I felt that the small gains from a street port would not outweigh the possiblity of lower fuel economy, cost of the actual porting, as well as more time without my car. I really don't know much about porting and wasn't sure if it would require specific tuning or any problems that may result from the porting. Plus I pretty much went all summer without my car and was just dying to have it back lol. I havent seen much research on porting the renesis and am hesitant about messing with reliablility, lord knows i've had enough problems with the car in the past year i've had it, and didn't want to open up another can of worms by messing with porting.
