The starting point for most top end porting is approx. 36mm. There are nuances that improve over that (but Pete n Marc each have dibbs on one of my family jewels, should I divulge a sacred FBI secret  )
As far as port matching into the heads, I believe there is merit to tapering the port all the way down to the valve guide. But, there is some real concern for "punching through" if you don't have a road map, and pulling the head(s) means pulling the motor...not a cheap or easy thing to do.

This I do not understand; NOT an O-ring seal at the top and bottom??? At the fuel rail, and at the port inlet?
Does FSM have a pic of the setup? Anybody got a snappic here? I suppose I'll see it when I get there, if ever....................

And what's the definition of 'tubular' headers? As opposed to ? headers?
