About the Guest: Darin Morgan (Head of cylinder head development at Reher Morrison) was a real joy to interview. With his motto being "There are no secrets", there's no question he won't answer. Darin gives quite a few formulas for calculating port dimensions. http://rehermorrison.com

Listener Comments:

"After listening to the interview with Darin Morgan I have realized there is much more to learn in regards to the art and science of induction system design from carburetor to muffler. Thanks guys for the thought provoking information."
