Port match stock intake?

skiwesser · 11-20-2002, 10:51 AM

As long as I've got it off is it worth anything to gasket match a stock lower?
Thanks

Definitely....Do it.....Its worth about a tenth with the stock intake. When I still had the stocker I ported the lower and knocked off a touch over a tenth in the 1/4.

Later,

Do not let any one stop you from doing it. It is worth way more than a tenth. It educates, it encourages, it is just good for you to do. A N D it is good for a tenth or so at the track

I'm going to be port matching my GT40 heads to my Trick Flow intake and headers as well as cleaning up my headers and porting my lower intake manifold. It's easily worth the time since i'm in there and i recommend it for you as well.

Think of it this way: Do you want to spend some time getting FREE horsepower AND torque at all RPM ranges.

take the time and do it, YOU WON'T BE SORRY! Just make sure that you don't grind too much in any one spot and grind about 1" up into the port minimum. good luck,
