I have some questions as to intake porting. I have had people suggest I get my intake ported to match the head they think its restricting my engine. The head already has bowl and port work and is gasket matched. I currently am running an untouched offy 4bbl. My question is should I gasket match and port the offy or would I benefit more going to an intake with more plenum volume like a clifford or a hurricane intake and port one of them instead. I am running a procharger on this engine with 10lbs of boost. The engine is 0.060 over, oversized valves,custom comp cam, 650 holley. Any feed back, suggestions or opinions?

If you are after most power, then get a Clifford or Hurricane and start with that. Ports are 5-10% bigger in area than Offy. Then port match to head and you should be set.

A Hurricane can be opened up a ton if needed.
