i have no idea why they said not to port. i would think a W2 headed engine would see some gains but i'm no expert.Possibly based n your combo ?
Another combo may have netted more gains .

That's because it's hard to gauge a 100th gained or lost in ET on a sorted car.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.
I’m sure there would be a gain but as mentioned above, gain vs cost may not be effective. Also, just how good is the manifold in question? That may be something there?i have no idea why they said not to port. i would think a W2 headed engine would see some gains but i'm no expert.
is the top one a harbor freight item?[/QUOTE][QUOTE foot speed controller or router speed controller in pictures.

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.
What is your opinion of the W2 Strip Dominator?
Probably the best intake I’ve ever seen out of the box was a B1 big block intake. I don’t think I had over an hour spent on it.
I was surprised to say the least. The one company actually told me they didn’t want to take my money and not see any gain at the drag strip. I was not expecting that.
