port matching??

Should intakes and heads be port matched for better flow?

Ideally, yes.

However, there's a whole lot of things that matter a whole lot more than that, until they're taken care of you won't notice any difference at all... L03 heads themselves by their design are a good example. I don't care what you port match, the factory stuck a giant restriction in the intake port that causes 10 times as much flow disruption as any mismatch at the intake flange ever could.
