Bruce W. & Tom V. your points are duly noted and I truly value your opinions, but I did see quite an improvement in my intake after these mods were performed! Now the question is, could it have been even better if I had it prepared by Wilson or any other porter? I honestly don't know, but I will say this, all though it is not the most common way to do it, it simply worked for me and my combination and I do feel it was money well spent on my Lil D-Port motor.
