      My plan from the beginning has been for P-Ports.  I may yet

try the intake port timing.

I've very interested in P-Ports. As soon as I'm flying with my
conventional NA 13B I'm going to start rebuilding a core that's
sitting in my backyard. Depending on Jerry's efforts I'll convert it
to a P-Ported engine.

But I've got to get the one that's in the plane now flying!!! No time
for diversions!

You are doing the right thing Joe. Decide on a configuration after careful
planning and stick to it no matter what.

Yes, I will go P-port next time too. Instead of a turbocharger.

I am working things out right now. Turns out the optimum length
of the runners varies with the speed of the pressure wave. 
That in turn depends on the density of the air which varies with
altitude and temp. so it is possible one will be able to tune ones 
cockpit variable length manifold at any  altitude or temp for both power 
and BSFC. How important this will be remains to be seen.
