I was looking through the forums, and came across several mentions of porting the intake manifold in order to improve hp. I didn't find any mention of what the best method of doing this is. Is this something that can be done by an amatuer? (I'm fairly handy with tools, but no mech. genuis). I know some of the basics, and I know how to read. Any advice? Good books? Specs and pictures of a ported 1.9 intake manifold ? Any help would be ....well, helpful.

Again, thanks. I had a somewhat related question about a dual downdraft setup that is currently for sale on ebay. This is a dual weber 40 downdraft from an Opel Capitan. Is this something that would be worth putting on a stock GT motor, or is this overkill? Would it produce much of a difference over a ported intake with the weber 38? How about the difference between it and a 2.0 litre FI setup? Again, any thoughts would be welcome.

Is the effort worth the gain over the simple tent?

I'm kind of surprised that this hasn't come up yet, but aren't you afraid that the JB weld will deteriorate and find it's way into the engine? Yhere was another member here who built the entire divider thingy with JB weld, and when he tore it down again, he found that some pieces had been lost while in operation. It should come up if you do a search.
