I am new to this game, I've never ported an intake before. I bought a single cut 6" long burr from Mcmaster Carr. The problem was that the cutting surface was only about 1" long, and when you get the chips flying the length of the cut you need is more like 2" in order to avoid and uneven surface. My solution as dumb as it sounds was to use a rotozip cutter in my dremel tool. It worked great and allowed me to reach deep into the manifold. I am not quite done yet and I plan to add a piece of aluminum angle standing like a Tee Pee on the bottom of the intake to direct the flow into the runners.
