Did you happen to port match the intake to the heads? Just wondering how far off the intake was on ET heads. I know the ports were way too small on AFR heads so we had to hog the intake.

I'm going to port match. I made a template of the heads and its definately gotta be opened a bit

One thing I did notice was that the ports on the intake are not centered with respect to the o-gaskets. when you port matched did you get real close to the groove on one side of the port?

The fun part is that the intake slides 1/4" front to back,so that has to be right too

Guess I'll make a reference alignment mark on the head & intake to be sure it aligns correctly then
