Info on ported FAST intakes

When yall had your intake ported, was it just port matched to the heads or was the whole unit ported as well. A shop around where I live has done some work for me and I think Im getting jerked around. Thanks

I ported and port matched them to the heads. There are some little corners inside of the runners that you can smooth out to make the intake flow a little better.. Do a search there is some info on here somewhere with pics.

A lot of people are getting jerked around on the "porting" some shops claim to do.

We have a few Ported FAST 92mm intakes moded for the PTM 95mm throttle body that should be in-stock late this week! Dyno testing showed something like 11flywheel horespower gains over the stock Fast 92 intake/TB combo.
