gt93 - are you saying the ports are different sizes, are they just dont line up, or both? I would expect some misalignment to be present, but the ports should be the same size on the edel. head and the trick flow intake.

How much will your compression raise with the .030 shaved off your edels? Are u using stock pistons? I want to shave my edels. also. so any help would be appreciated.

The best way for you to match yours up is to bolt the intake onto the heads with the heads mounted on the block. If you do it on a bench and not on the engine, it might not be the same as when its mounted, due to differeces in the deck height. Use an old gasket if u have one. I would put some rtv on the intake side of the gasket, so it will stick to the intake when you remove it, then outline the gasket opening with a scribe or something, then port the intake to match the gasket opening. The gasket opening will be lined up with the head, so you are basically gasket matching your intake to your head.
