You could've done what's called 'gasket matching.' Lay your stock gasket on the flange for the plenum to head and the throttle body, trace, and make the transition smooth from where it mated to the head and t.b. you won't gain any h.p. or trq by what you did. You may of actually adversely effected it to tell you the truth because you created more of a possibility of turbulence where you couldn't polish or smooth in the middle of the runners. It would be negligible, but gasket matching would've benefitted more and you wouldn't have needed to cut it open and have to weld it shut. There are some good books and info out there on the subject. It has alot to do with fluid dynamics, seriously suggest doing some reading. I've been building motors for over 25 years so I have a little knowledge in this department.
That’s Badass man much respect for real I appreciate people that actually do it themselves cause honestly I don’t have the balls to do that to my manifold or any manifold honestly awesome 👏 😎 work came out great💯👌🏾🔥
Well at least you try your best with the tools that you have,but honestly when you have to do the welding back on,with all those gaps in the aluminum it's going to be a mess inside the plenum.

I had a hard time as well trying to find someone with a port and polish video. Thanks for the video.
Waiting for Part 2 for very long

Paul Escoto I really appreciate the support thank you so much 🙏🏽
Very good walkthrough bro and to the detail👌🏽💯
Did this help you?

You need some real carbide cutting bits. Those round sanding discs get clogged up quick.
Part 2 ?
where is part two?

I'm afraid something happened to the homie
Bro but what’s the point of that? What do you gain? I’m curious to know 🤔 interesting
Exactly, no porting done at all...sadly
He didnt port/grind it out , but definetly smoothed out and removed any casting flaws and created a more uniform flow .
whats that tool called to polish it?.
