Stark did a great job on those, thats pretty decent. Jsup AFR doesnt make any as cast, thats the way they come period, out of the box. No "porting"...thats the point. How much are you goig to spend working over the Darts to get them to the same level and by that time how much bigger is the intake port going to be?
Ok Ron, I'll play your game. Why is "out of box" so important other than just being a marketing slogan? Another example of arguing from an AFR bias.
Who cares. If I'm building a motor and I'm doing it for all out performance, I'll get the things ported. If I'm trying to do it cheap, I'll take out of box. A factory light port on my heads was $200. I paid $1400 WITH the factory clean up port and another $300 to have my MiniRam ported and gasket matched and some touch up on the heads.

The out of the box mentality has some advantages. I try to do as much as possible on my builds, without the help (or relying) of others. All things being equal,I prefer an out of the box product, but realistically, there never seems to be one for my application. I always wind up changing something out.
