Is the $200/250 for the intake manifold base? If so $200 sounds pretty reasonable for porting, but I don't know how far he'll take that. But just for comparison - if you pay $250 for mega porting - it will flow almost as much as a stock edelbrock 3860. You will pay around $20 to ship it each way, so you're looking at almost $300 for a stock intake manifold (plus the cost of the intake manifold if you bought an extra). I just picked up a brand new 3860 from a guy for $335 shipped (he bought it and never used it). It's around $405 new + shipping. Something to consider. Plus the cost of SLPs, that you are paying $360 for, plus the porting on those is how much? Now factor in the intake plenum and the mega-porting on that. Adds up quick, huh!?!?!
