hey, i was wondering if it would be worthwile to port the runners of my edelbrock intake manifold???
my vtec head is ported, with bigger valves.. do you think it would benefit??
if it matters im goin for around 600 whp

 

Is this for a forced induction car?

(Yes, I know this is the forced induction forum, but though I had better ask anyway.)

 

if he's planning on 600whp i'm sure its going to be a turbo car.

 

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

 

i guess ill clean up the runners on mine too.. are any of you guys ceramic coating the intake manifold?? im not sure if it would really help or not. im using a hondata intake manifold gasket, you think that is enough??
