And I don’t have a higher hp goal than porting at this time as I road course track my car. If that changes, I’ll buy a 2650 and I won’t have any regrets.
Talking about JSH not you. I Quoted you because you said “ Supporting mods for the 1.7L also apply to the 2650. Money spent on supporting mods do not get subtracted from the cost of the 2650. It’s $2k for 1.7L porting vs $7k for 2650. And the ported 1.7L can be sold for $2k. It does not equal money wasted.”

And my response was 100% accurate. Many people have ported twice, paid labor twice, installed spacer plates, blankets etc. re-tuned twice or even more.

By the time your done it’s now we’ll over $3000 maybe $4000 you’ve just spent on the 1.7. So yes selling it for $2k you’ve just wasted 2k that could of went right towards a 2650.

I’m paying 100% attention and I know how math works as well as what people have paid to mess with their 1.7 multiple times.
