Porting plenum?

Sorry if this is not the right board for this question but i couldnt find anywhere else.

Anyway, I have a 305 TPI speed density and I want to port the plenum. Is there somewhere that gives instructions on how to do this? I also plan to get SLP siamesed runners along with this. Why would i need to get them "port matched"? Is it necessary? Would SLP runners be a good idea?
thank you.

Porting the plenum is very easy. You don't need siamesed runners on a near stock 305 TPI, the TPI intake was designed for a 305 and a ported base, runners, and plenum are probably good for close to 300hp on a 305 TPI.

I have a copy of a very detailed article that
VADER put together on the procedure, It is complete with pic's. You will however need adobe acrobat reader to view it.

Drop me an e-mail at Iroczrs@aol.com if you would like me to send it to you.
