Default crossfire intake runner size inconsistencies

measured a stock manifold runner size, all different. lots of casting imperfections. height varies from 1.35" to 1.4". width varies 1.01" to 1.1"
porting all runners to 1.4"x 1.1" would be more than a stock head could flow. I think 1.4"x1.188" can be done safely. this is porting the full length of the runner. I know people have made them bigger. I've read that port matching the floor does nothing
thought I would pass on this info for anyone that wants more out of there crossfire manifold

it makes sense that the runner do not all flow the same, because there different sizes.
