Advice noted...

Its a very smooth transition from the intake to the head ports.
I removed allot of material like you said to smooth it out .

The pic's below are still the dry runs.

But let me run with it for now as the intake has been assembled

Thanks for the input

This low boost high power stories? Are we going backwards to normally aspirated? 0.5 bar? No need for turbo then?

I wanted to go with a high compression low boost setup, but was advised against it... But yeah my only reason was I could get a custom set of 84mm 9.5:1 Wiseco's with Total seal rings and High Heat coating for $400 - bargain and a half

these two illustrate what I am talking about look at the entrance to the port. See how sharply it diverges to the gasket line.

STD is 8.5mm and I read somewhere that the max lift with hydraulic lifters is 8.5mm?!

Stock on the Ca18det inlet is 7,5mm .

8,5 mm is right for the limit, But they are special lifters
