Default Porting the LSX manifold

I ported my LSX to the "WITNESS" marks. In some areas the intake manifold ports are a little off, but for the most part, its really good. BIG difference from the small LS6 ports, to my new LSX ports, But thats where my question comes in: With such big ports now on my intake manifold, will I benifit any H.P/T.Q. over the LS6, or am I going to lose power? The car is a H/C car w/ nitrous. Last Question: HOw the hell do I keep the MAP sensor tight in the back. The little rubber grommet is kinda loose. I bet when I spray nitrous, that the MAP sensor will pop out from the pressure.

RTV the MAP sensor.

if you ported that intake larger than the ports on your heads you will create reversion/turbulance and will actually hurt performance. did you port match or just start porting?

I did port match, but some how, my caliper moved in size from my house to my friends house, and now this.....
