Default Intake porting recommendations?
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend someone good for porting a Victor 4500 intake? I need it port matched to my Ediie wideports which is easy enough but also looking for some good plenum work. I don't mind waiting 4-5 weeks but would rather not have it tied up all summer. I have chatted a bit with Chopper Scott on FB and he seems to do nice intake work but not a Pontiac expert.

The 4-5 week turn around might be tough but Paul Knippen did mine. Turned out pretty nice and makes good power.
Dan Barton is real good also. He did the highest hp Victor I'm aware of.

Thanks! And yeah it's getting that time of year where the shops get backed up. I also checked with John at CFM amd he"s so backed up he said he isn't even taking any more work at this time.

Wilson Manifolds might be considered.

Years ago they were involved in Jay DeLaigle's 1974 455 project.

Derek Stewart is not as well known, but he did some nice work on my stock HO intake.

Derek did a Torker 2 for me a few years ago. The results are documented on one of my threads. The car picked up a tenth and a mph..maybe slightly more if I recall correctly.

Derek Stewart did 3 intakes for me for my engine last year. Unfortunately, he's having some health issues and out of commission for awhile.

Very nice looking. I chatted with Paul and unfortunately he's booked til mid summer. I suspect that will be the case with most of the good higher demand guys out there though.
