I took the ridge down all the way so that the walls were flush. There are some threads on tech about porting. You need a new rope seal that Fast sells, also Summit and probably most sponsers on here. Have to cut it to length and where the seal pieces mate, you need a dab of RTV. It is basically a rope that you cut into a bunch of section that you glue together. Very easy. There is about 7-10" of extra rope if you mess up a cut or something. I just made it the same way as Fast originally made it. You will see when you pull it apart. As far as porting, I removed the ridges and removed every bit of casting flash from all 3 sections, then ported the tb opening up to 92mm to match my 92mm tb. Since a fast 90 is the same as a 92 in every way except the tb opening, you can save a bit of cash and open the tb opening up yourself and have a 92mm Fast intake in the end. Will post some pics of the seal deal in a few mins.
From what I have read, I have heard numbers all over the place from 10-25hp. I have no idea what the number really is, I cannot port like Mr. Mamo lol. I had free time this winter so I figured that even if it is a 5hp gain, it's worth my time
