Gasket match, er no?

[MY FYN 79]

With talk of reversion on single plane EFI intakes, should I open this intake up to match my 1206 head ports?

Even though I've cleaned up a few heads and intake manifolds, I'm by no means a "natural" when it comes to this kind of thing. Normally I leave a small lip around the intake's port. What worries me more than anything is how much material would need to be removed from the top of the port where the injectors come in. Any suggestions?

Its an 11 to 1 406 with Brodix RR200 heads and a "medium" Isky hydraulic roller. Intake is a single plane Accel Pro Ram. Pump gas street/strip car.

To fight reversion I'd leave the intake alone. Flaring the port of the head / intake simply to match the contour of a gasket can kill flow unless the intake port is big and approximates the size of the intake gasket.

Thanks for the info.

Everyone agree?
