Somewhere in the 25 to 30 hp range. And lots of racers will pay $2000 if it means they win the round rather than loading on the trailer. Bracket guys don't care so much, but heads up guys spend more than that to pick up less.

Another point is that a Wilson intake is always worth money. You can race with a Wilson intake for years and then turn around and sell it for close to what you paid since the Wilson brand is so strong. If you pay a local guy $500 for port work you might get 1/3 of that back when you go to sell, If the porter doesn't have a reputation then people won't pay much for it.


I guess there is a time and place for porting, but thinking in terms of the op, 2000 on intake porting a M1 for maybe a tenth is not worth it. I can't see more than that in a gasket matched M1. Just my opinion. The m1 is a pretty good intake in my opinion.
