Default Question about new heads and intake prep.

When I get my Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads and RPM Air Gap intake should I do anything like port matching the intake runners to the heads or smoothing the intake throat?

I would hope they would be almost a perfect match being the same company and same package (performer rpm).

Thanks guys just wanted to check and see if anyone else did any modifying to a similar setup or just bolt it on. I realy don't like the idea of cutting on brand new stuff. :eek:

Thanks
