3)If it's not very useful to have the intake ported is it effective to have the exhaust headers ported if the engine is staying naturally aspirated for the time being???

4)And I'm still curious how much those spacers are.....
1)If the intake manifold were polished prior to being coated I am sure it would be smoother. The speckeled look "is a trick of light and shadow."

2)As I remember it was about $100.0 plus shipping at the time.

3)You have to look at the whole picture of flow. Port matching to reduce turbulance can help flow, but having a 2"id header flowing into a 1.6"id pipe is/can be a restriction.

4)The spacers were less than $100.00.
