Porting new intake

Scrapla · 08-29-2002, 03:09 PM

I just got my Trick Flow Street Heat upper and lower intake manifold and was wondering if it would be safe to get it ported before I install it or is it already good enough cause I noticed some rough edges in the runners.

Yes it would be safe, but if you do it yourself, DON'T use a Dremel. I tried with my Explorer Intake and it took along time to do 1 port and it ate many bits. You could also use an air die grinder or something like that to smooth it out.
