What kind of tool to port a FAST intake?
What kind of tool to port a FAST intake? This would be just for some basic head port matching. What works best? Those sandpaper rolls on a dremel or something that cuts harder?
I have some stone bits. Do they tend to clog up and get coated with plastic or do they stay fairly clean?
I'm not sure if I have the experience like Tony to use carbide bits. I'm sure those would chew through plastic fairly quickly for a first time porter like myself. I wanted a bit that I could work with nice and slow while taking my time.
I might be better off just sending it to Tony and have him do it.

I used a combination of both the stone bits and sanding rolls. Kept it at low and medium speeds. It turned out pretty nice. I port matched it to the heads and smoothed down all the rough surfaces. It took me about a weeks time working on it a little bit everyday. In that week I spent maybe 7-8 total hours but went really slow and took my time. Sorry I didn't take any pics mostly because it was such a mess when I started the grinding with plastic shavings everywhere.
I'd say carbide, just keep the speed down. Finish with sand rolls on a die grinder; also keeping the speeds down. Helps to limit them by limiting the air coming into the tool.
