Thrasher--its the builder's responsibility to check port matching and at least with this manifold you can shape or grind a bit if thing doesnt line up perfect.porting may give a builder the ability to change the rpm range the engine makes it's best power for the type of intended engine use.also they can increase port volume to accomodate increase in displacement.

Verdad Gallardo I just recieved my ported LSX 90 from TEA a few days ago (along with a NW 90 TB)
and it looks niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice (IMO) ...................Not to mention I couldn't pass up the package deal they gave me either.
I get to drool over it for awhile cause the 408 isn't ready to go in the car just yet
