You can run the 235cc program through it but you will have to change valves.

I posted some pictures in a thread I made...I ended up using a viton sheet of 3/16" thick and waterjet cut to the port geometry to shim up the intake so it has a better transition...so now I have 8 gaskets that need to be glued to either the head or intake...after that I ported the intake more and took some spots out that looked to be a restriction and matched the ports...something to keep in mind when port matching is the intake likes to move alot and needs to be indexed to the heads...so you can guarantee that when the intake is complete it goes on the heads in the exact spot you ported it too...turned out pretty good hopefully it will get me a few more hp...

Verdad Gallardo dont use epoxy to smooth out the transition that will not help out the flow into the head much at all...it actually might hurt flow if you are not careful and add to much material in the port...you need to raise the floor of the intake up by shimming it or using a thicker gasket...this will open up more area for the head to flow...
Pretend this is the extreme scenario...the bottom half of the intake port is blocked off by the head (in my case was around .20" actually)...so now your surface area of your intake port is cut in half or 50%...not matter how much epoxy you put in the intake port to fill that huge transition or wall that is created by head you will still have only 50% effective intake port volume...so epoxy will not help much...
the only way to gain that 100% port volume back is to re align the intake by bushing it up or whatever direction is needed so alignment is correct...so focus your attention on that...
remember it is okay if the intake port is bigger than the head port, but not the other way around...so if your intake is larger in all directions to your head you will not gain much of anything from epoxying the transition...

I remember your thread on the port alignment ,and the gasket/spacer engineering..020 is not too bad,I always thought the intake should be smaller than the head port.I emailed Vengeance and they said epoxy matching did not show any gains.thanks for all your grate infor and input,it is a good head and I can afford it but now a days I am more practical.15 yrs ago I would spend $1000 on a carb to gain 5hp over a out of box carb,I have changed for the worst.LBS, lost ***** syndrome.
