So why does it need porting? Do the runners not line up with the head? Also, how can we be sure we are getting the most current version?

We never said it needs porting--- Only that porting makes them better.

Order a manifold through a Vender that knows what he's selling you, instead of who has the "cheapest prices".

I hope this helps!

Agreed, this intake is a very underated piece that we finally starting to warm up to, bang for the buck - it probably ranks number 1...

I also chose it for a fatter midrange (switched from custom made plenum to this)
