A ported stock manifold on a cam-only setup is worth absolutely zero!

I suppose the better terminology would be "at your current power level." It wouldn't help. Not until you're 450+whp would you possibly see an improvement, and even then the power gains would be negligible. AI actually suggested AGAINST porting mine, but I did it anyway.
