    yeah but ive seen small port intake on bigport head, which is ment to flow well. just hoping someone else had carried ou some sort of testing into this to confirm this or not.

    oh yeah, forgot about that.

    incicently, the port spacing of smallport and silvertop 20 valve is basically identical

    the bolt holes line up, the air holes do not line up.

    also, the 100kw(smallport) one is a 4 runner, bigport is 8 runner.

    the adaptors channel the offset runners into the ports.

    id just use a big port manifold. any differance will be neglidgable not at all worth the trouble. highly unlikely anyone is going to be able to give a proper oppinion based on back to back testing.

    guys in slightly confused on the bigport 86kw head, the maching inlet manifold has 4 runners and if put on a rwd set up needs the throttle body swaped to the other side. is this correct?
