Came home to this bad boy today. Saving money on used parts is nice but, nothing beats cracking open the brand new ones! Pretty sure I am gunna attempt to port match this to the heads, I spent enough on them want to make sure I get the most! Any opinions, stories or, advice on porting at home?

No die grinder, just a dremel.
Yeah thinking I'll take you're advice on this one, would hate to trash a brand new intake. I'm running the TFS 11Rs and after another look they match the ports on the intake pretty well.Rocket989 wrote:Which heads are you rolling with...I can't remember? I'd be tempted to leave the intake alone. Nothing wrong with the intake manifold ports being a smaller than the head ports (you just don't want the opposite). Depending on the amount of metal removed you can get a "Coke bottle" affect on the runners that's not beneficial. Full on intake porting is typically a lot of plenum work & the full length of the runners.
Not sayin' it'd hurt but those intakes flow pretty good outta the box!
Joe,
Thanks man! Getting the welder turned in for sure, driver side toe boards are next I think they will be a little tougher. Definitely nervous because, I know that's a little more structural area! I'll give it a shot though!
Thanks,
Ben
