Not a lot on modern high tech multi valve engines...big old cast iron V8's ..yes.If you talk to race engine builders 'matt' is better than polish...if you mess too much with the '3 Zones' of intake ports you will loose performance.....

Terry, can you explain in a little more detail what 'matt' is? Thanks, Mike

Is this the same type finish that you'd get your pictures developed in? Where it's slightly pitted v. very smooth? If so, I thought that the smoother the surface, the better it is, because turbulent air hurts power.
Please set me straight on this. Thanks,
Mike

Think of a golf ball- the dimples make it fly farther.
Also, fuel can collect on the port walls if they are smooth which is not a good thing. A slightly rough surface won't allow this. Polishing your exhaust ports though can help cut down on gunk a small amount, but probably not enough to warrant the time/cost.
I thought I read something on NECO's forums where the Leo Capaldi Speedvision Cougar gained around 40+hp with alot of attention to detain in the inlet side of the engine. Heads, manifolds, etc..
