70 dart swinger slant turbo build and mild restoration

Makes sense why bother with a bunch of time into small details when with the turn of a nob or change of a spring u can overcome that fault and it takes a hell-of-a lot less time and money

That was my whole point. Worrying about tiny details like port-matching makes sense in naturally-aspirated cars, but there are other considerations for boosted engines that don't exist in the N/A motors. You have a finite amount of time to correct errors in the build of all these engines. The ones that matter to a N/A engine may be easily overcome by (more) boost in a blown or turbo application.

That is not to say that an engine built with perfectly-matched ports, for example, wouldn't always run better, N/A OR with forced induction, but since we don't have unlimited time and resources, it makes sense to correct what we can and let more boost take care of the things we didn't have the time or opportunity to fix.

That was my contention.:blob:
