Question on port matching

Huh?

If the plan is to make as much HP as possible by port matching, which is what I thought the object of the exercise was, then what should be done is most important.
Do not know of any engine builder that recommends the intake runner should be larger where it meets the intake port at the head/manifold interface.
It is not just about airflow. It is about wet flow & velocity. It is about reversion, because a typical V8 manifold has it's runners connected to other cylinders via a plenum or plenums. A reversion pulse from a closing intake valve can affect the incoming air to another runner. A step [ smaller manifold runner opening ] at the head/manifold interface can help disrupt this damaging pulse.

Smokey Yunick says the two should be matched.

D. Vizard: 'It is a good idea to have the port in the intake a just little smaller than that in the heads.' And: 'Sometimes a precision port match actually cuts power. Why? In effect, power is dependent on how well the manifold runners manage wet flow. If there is small step at the manifold/head face junction with the intake runner being slightly smaller, the power is likely to be as good, or better than, an absolutely perfect match.',
