but yes the intake runners neck down and then open up then neck down again at the back of the valve. this generates low pressure area's that increase velocity and flow
No, it not like anything else, and it has nothing to do with bed covers. Myth Busters resolved that one anyway.

I have a spare intake manifold for my 2v 5.4 the only problem is its plastic. I was wondering if and how one would go about porting one of the plastic manifolds?

This reminds of that guy in the Modular forum who put a PI intake on Non PI heads without porting anything. Tajerame gave me the link (can't find it) - The swap gained him quite a bit of HP even though he had to have a hell of allot of turbulence at the step. - Didn't seem to effect it much.

Good job Paul, Patrick - Man that intake looks tall, I haven't seen one of those yet.

match the gaskets to the outlets and mark em with a white or silver paint pen and get out your dremel or rotary tool and have at it.
