intake ported or not?
I have an 06 Z51 coupe and I am getting a FAST 102mm intake along with ARH headers and a K and N filter with a tune . My question is ,do i need to get the Fast ported along with the throttle body. I don`t plan on doing any more at this time on my budget. Should I get them ported now to save getting them done later? Bat Pig out.

What I did with my Fast before mounting to stock head was limited to removal of manufacturing flashing on all mating joints and smooth, blend in then polish.
Proper match porting will be done when I have decided which head to be used.
I ported my own TB and I did everything progressive w/one change at a time. TB porting had no noticeable effect, but it was nice to permanently removed the two massive cast in lumps at 4 & 8 o'clock position in the inlet then mirror polished the internal, so it did make me feel better with that done but didn't cost me anything other then time.
