Yes, you can. Tony Mamo at AFR does it, for one.

Port match to gasket or head?
I have port matched to gasket but not head. No percievable gain in either . You'd only get 3-5 hp gain if you went from an LS1 to LS6 intake on a stock engine and I think swapping the FAST intake would add up to 20hp, so porting itself just adds to whatever additional hp gainers are done.

Show me something............
I doubt that port matching can add any where near 15 rwhp. RichieRichZ06 can you show us some thing to back up that claim .
I can definetly see how porting heads and manifold will produce ssuch gains but not port matching. Thanks
