Is this for a forced induction car?
(Yes, I know this is the forced induction forum, but though I had better ask anyway.)

Re: porting intake manifolds? (lone)
its a turbo car... im sure the edelbrock manifold can make 600 hp, i know it can, but im wondering if there wil be any gains by porting... the only reason i ask is because, i was looking at my one i had last year on my ls head, and the runners are rough, and not sized to the gasket... i just picked up my new one for my new vtec head, and i have some time to mess with it, before it has to go on..

Can't imagine it would hurt anything to do a little polishing.
Gasket matching would certainly help with flow and turbulence issues.

that is what i thought, too
it would be a good idea to smooth it out...although it will work OK if you don't
i plan to smooth mine out
