I decided with my spare time this winter I was going to port my intake, upper and lower, to the max to see what I can get out of it. I started by sawing the upper in 2 so I could get at the ports and knife the edges and polish. I also had to open up the T/B side to fit my new 70mm t/b.It is almost ready to be welded back together...just need to polish it up more. I also welded my lower intake on the top and bottomso I could straigthen out the front 2 runners.... no pictures yet. I will keep you all posted and tell you guys how much it helps. I am trying to best my best times..13.7 at 105mph. I hope I see something, but if I don't, O-well. Plan on getting a new one anyway.

Hope it works out for ya. Have you deleted the EGR? The spacer is 58mm I believe, it can only safely go to about 65mm, so if you're running bigger ports than that it'll be a bottle neck

The stock spacer is gone...I did have a nice BBK 70mmspacer, but I deleted my EGR a while back and now have made a nice spacer (EGR delete), ported to match the intake(about 75mm). So I ditched the BBK and went with my own stuff I made.

not a bad idea for winter

That is what I figure.

Without some heads and a big cam or a blower you won't see anything from that. You might actually lose hp due to less velocity. Flow is great but if the air is moving really slow it's bad. Hope I am wrong and you see a gain.

Can't imagin it will flow much better than a cobra intake/gt40. That wouldn't hurt me...would it? BTW, I am not opening up the runners on the upper, just polishing and cleaning up. The only real porting I did to that was for the larger T/B. I don't think I will have a problem. The lower will have a lot of work done to it.....we will see....I want to know if it helps..I'm not out anything yet.

I have ported heads with 1.7 rockers.

ive heard that shops can do a port job... i was goin to get my heads ported to get ride of my bottle neck heads... i figured my cobra intake would need to be ported next... would a shop more than likely do more htan u have done or is a very basic porting??? also were do u cut it at... i have a cobra intake like i said and hte only reason i and porting it out and not gettin an aftermarket one is i wanna keep the stock look... kinda sleeper
