How common is cheating?

[Ron Earp]

Precisely. Some guides go waaaaaaaay into the port and have a huge OD. Jeff's TR8 is a perfect example, big around and very long, they stick way down in the runner and if they could be cut back he'd pick up a lot of CFM with no detriment to function.

Picture a 20 pound assembly in the bottom of the oil pan with two counter rotating steel shafts that rob about 10% of the engines power and creat windage problems. All in the name of NVH issues.
