Weiand Stealth 8022 - bad ports, can it be fixed or should I send back?

I just got back from a hour long wait and two transfers on Jegs customer service line to get my return started and then dropped it off at a Fed Ex Facility.

Looks like I am going to get an Air Gap from Edelbrock instead.

I don't mind having port work done, but I don't want to question how bad the core shift is to get it where it should be flowing out of the box
