Default Porting Injector castings

Gents,

Can the Injector castings be efficiently ported while retaining the secondaries?

You can port primaries only or, I imagine, have 8 butterflies custom made and reinstalled after porting the secondaries. Namely, this is why I had all secondary system, including vacuum system, taken out so that secondary intake could be ported.

The secondaries are in the cylinder head, not the injector housing. I guess I don't understand your question.
When I first ported the plenum and the IH, I also port matched the cylinder head runner and the port throttle mechanism remained albeit, tie wrapped open.

XfireZ51 is correct. What was I thinking... Anyhoo, I had mine opened up all the way through.

You've answered the question. I don't want to pull the heads. I believe I can port match and modestly blend without removing the heads by stuffing the intake ports like I did on my LS2. I want to retain my secondaries..
