You state that you have a 1g head. To make the the 1g intake mani even be worthwhile you'd have to port the opening of the 2g head to match that of the intake. The 1g intake ports are much bigger than the 2g openings. Your airflow is gonna hit a lip of deal wall and create weird turbulence. I did all kinds of reading/posting on this. I read just as much good as i did bad. Someone else here can probably tell you more. You'd probably be better off with a 1g head/intake combo unless your port the head. I was in the same boat you are. I have a 1g intake that i was gonna put on too. Too much reading caused me to just fork out the $650 for a Magnus. I'm also putting a 50trim on too. My car isn't running yet, probably 2 weeks out yet. But to answer question, of whether to get the intake mani ported, i probably wouldn't waste the time if you're not gonna do anything to the head. You will only be able to reach in so far with porting tools anyway. You will have to get it extrude honed if you want it ported thoroughly. That's pretty expensive.

Good Luck!
