as long as they are equaly sized you cant go wrong realy may muck up the flow rate but aslong as they are equal the bores get the same amount of air

I don't think getting 500hp is such a issue tbh, I would imagine how its ported will also help the engine make the power in the right area if the build is specced right

for a bare head £400................if he has to strip it and build it back up....£500.....it will take about a week,but plan on 2weeks cos it depends on what else he is doing as he builds engines for people aswell..........
