[QUOTE="Ketchup, post: 7607409, member: 153477"] I haven’t seen it all, but typically the epoxy I see in intakes is to raise the floor. I agree you can make the intake too large. You can make any port too large. And you can grind in the wrong places. On an intake I mostly see widening at the cylinder wall and sometimes lowering of the intake floor. If swapping in a larger boot and carb, general enlargement may be called for. As far as hogging, it increases volume, so you have to compensate for that. I don’t typically hog out any port, but I know good porters that do. Curious to hear about saws that run above 225psi. I see very few of those, but I’m not a racer. [/QUOTE]
