I do hope so. I've heard comments (with no evidence, other than the epoxy stuff, which I understand Kong has changed, and improved) about durability, but I didn't notice actual evidence of mechanical problems related to the porting. It's pretty crazy how much improvements have been found, and LMP implied there's another Kong revision they were testing or something. I think that was last week's video.

Does anyone have any datalogs of an X-port (or Jokerz raceport) of MATs? I, really, only hear of MATs going up. I only have experience with my 2650, so I'm just trying to go back to what I initially was interested in. Or - I'm open to the fact that I'm just not being as scientific as I could be either in my interpretation of what's being posted out there.

I thought the best way to distill this kind of comparison to it's simplest form would be as much a direct comparison as possible. Run similar boost on a dyno or on the street, at around similar ambient temps and speeds, and see what does what. As I think I've posted, I can see my MATs drop, over only a few second hit from around 35 MPH all the way out to the top of 4th gear (even the top of 3rd gear, really) several degrees, and it doesn't matter what temperature, and I only have a thicker HE. No ice. No trunk tank. Literally - nothing more than the thicker HE. I know there can be lots of factors, but we don't know everything that extrapolates MAT, so... I've been fortunate enough that Members have shared their information and see trends that, perhaps, I'm not understanding correctly.

Just curious is all. I'm not porting my 1.7 and doing that all over again, and needed to do what I did for specific reasons, so I'm not changing my combination. Just wondering.
