Everyone assumes thier "porting" is always good, and is a cheap route.

I highly doubt anyone with any skill will do anything for $200. If the porter happens to be skilled, they will only do touch ups for $200. Ask Tony Mamo to port your intake, see what he will do for $200. You'll get a thorough cleaning of the intake and return shipping, that will cost $50-80 alone. Then maybe an hour of porting time.

These wont compare in any way to a out of the box FAST intake that you can probably pick up for $500 used.
