Can anyone recommend someone who ports intakes. I'm in the process of building a new motor and wanted to get one of my intakes ported. Looked on Hughes website as they offer the service but they don't show any pics of ported intakes. Seems odd I wanted to see before and after pics.
 
Most won't show pictures because its a secret sauce kind of deal. Post what intake your considering, your engine combo, goals and someone might be able to point you to the right person.
 
Hughes will try to sell you more services and parts than you want. Best to deal with them in emails

Hughes does show the flow improvements they obtained with a variety of manifolds along with the before flows.

Hit up Pittsburgracer on FABO. I don't want to speak for the man, cause I know he's trying to slow down, but he is able and in your neck of the woods.

Mike at b3 will port it to your application not just for flow number but where it will benefit you motor like he did mine and my heads.
 
I scored a ported Eddy RPM (non-Air-Gap) on eBay that was done by Toth Performance, that's the guy behind a lot of builds in the Chrysler Power mags and does a lot of oddball stuff (Poly engine builds). His business seems pretty solid he just released some aluminum SBM heads a year or 2 ago I'd give him a shot.

Did some checking on pricing, Hughes wants $637 for the stage 2 porting. Wilson charges $1275 for full manifold porting. This is on my Air gap intake.

Andy F. said in a post, that Wilson charged him $1500 for the intake they did for him. Really woke it up, don`t remember what brand it was tho.
I`ve screwed around w/ two, and flow tested them, got about 325 out of both, but really need at least 350--------------$$$$
 
I had Ryan @Shady Dell do my heads and manifold for my 408. Picked up 4 tenths and 4 mph in 3600 lbs street car.
easy to work with and great results. located in Pa.

The intake was a low deck MP - M1 single plane.
 
There a fella that’s got it together !
 
I have searched a lot for intake porting tech and tips with little success.
Anyone have any links to good articles or threads ?
