Great work..
Are the openings on the heads the same size of the gasket openings? Also wha did you use to port the intake?

I'm used to doing 20 valve sportbikes so this was pretty easy.

Hrrrmmm....I'd be really curious to see if the intake holes going into the engine are actually as big as the gasket holes. BSR-1...have you had your intake off to see this for yourself?
A before/after dyno would have been nice, but then again beggers can't be choosers I guess. Very interested to see how this goes, and I wonder how much different a fully ported intake would fair against yours which has the openings basically widened and smoothed out.

usa1camaro1969 he bought the manifold from the guy who never installed the ported heads and this was his stock left over. I tried to order a new one from GM but they were on back order.

Fully ported? you mean cut open and then welded back together? I ported all of the areas that could be reached without cutting.

Admittedly, I don't know a ton about porting intakes. I know of course what it does, and the effects it can have on an engine and on power, but I don't know a whole lot about the process. Would cutting and smoothing out the entire thing be much better than just doing what you did?

This is very cool. I wonder if VMAX is going to do the whole cut and weld thing on their ported intake? BSR, you rock my friend.
