Ported intake gain?

I contacted 3 companies that do lots of porting. To my surprise all 3 of them said porting an intake, ET will NOT change. They said maybe (a big maybe) up to 15 hp on an engine dyno but will help nothing on the drag strip. Prices were from $450-$900 to port an intake.


Who did you call? For 900 bucks you should get 20-30 hp. There isn’t an out of the box intake that doesn’t need work. Some more than others, and the Victor W2 needs work.
