Default Fast intake vs Ported LS2 intake

Hi Guys, i have ported my own LS2 intake when i built up my 416. All i did was smooth out where the 3 pieces are bonded together, i did not cut out the posts or open it up. I am over in LA on a stag do in around 8 weeks, so i could bring a FAST back (to the UK) as hand luggage, this would save me freight and Taxes. I would have a sponsor port it because i want maximum benefit. I am moving up on cam to a 242/254 also. So to cut it short any ideas what gains could be had?

Hard to say exactly but in my opinion YOU WILL see noteworthy gains from that swap.

on a 416, you should see significant gains from ~3500rpms all the way up.
