You want the intake ports to be slightly smaller then the heads ports. If they are larger, the incoming air will smash into the lip of the cylinder head ports.
I would wait to install it until you get headers. Stock LT1 manifolds are terribly restrictive.

A ported intake isnt going to yield much of any kind of benefit without having a need for more air. And like Puck said, if the intake runners are bigger than the intake ports on the heads, you will have a HUGE air restriction. Same concept as people trying to "gasket match" intakes to heads, to get rid of any turbulence between them.
