Default Fastlsx Porting..

I hear so much about porting the 90 90 setup. I just bought it and I havent installed it yet.

1)- Is it WORTH porting the intake? (how much MORE horse can you actually gain)

2)- What needs to be ported?


Thank you for my newb question. I tried searching but everything comes up with "FAST" and "porting" but nothing actually to do with each other.

there are relief lines on the bottom of the ports this is the most you can saftely remove. As far as gains, depends on your setup, by smoothing out the air flow is always a good idea.

Just remember you can overport something too if you are not careful and have a negative effect.

From what I see, gains are minimal and even seen a couple go to the negative as mentioned. Tony Mamo would be the only one i trust to do it, but that's just me.

Are you talking porting or port matching.
I thought port matching was the harder one.
I did what I thought everybody that gets the fast does, and sanded off the chunks on the ends of each runner.
That's not tough at all, time consuming, but not hard.
