Default Any pics of ported fasts

I recently bought a fast intake and now porting it. Just wondering if anyone has some pics of their home port jobs they would like to post. It seems there is alot of material that can be removed, especially by the injector holes and the bumps or notches. Thanks for any pics.

I just removed all the casting ridges and then the large wedges in the walls...nothing too drastic.

From ls1 to my ported FAST picked up right at 25rwhp. Most of it above 4k rpm.

Looks nice after I painted it though, the stock "primer gray" plastic looks cheap and shitty and picks up dirty fingerprints too much.

Default nice

Thanks for the pics. Any body have some of the port by injector holes. The black fast looks aweswome!!! What type of paint or powdercoating? did you sand? How did you do the white lettering?" thanks

I just cleaned the intake with degreaser and sprayed it with Krylon Semi Gloss black...no primer or anything. It holds up well, even if it gets scratched just hold up a piece of cardboard as a shield for areas I don't want painted and I can respray it on the car.

The lettering was done with a white paint pen, I just trimmed the pointed tip with a razor so it was flat. Looks great and is easy to fix if anything happens or I want a new color lettering, ect.
