Is the intake a huge restriction?

I was doing some research and found the the runners on the stock intake for a turbo Z are smaller then the intake ports on the head itself.

 

Is this true?

 

If so what or how can you resolve this? Would the intake runners take a porting to match the ports on the head throughout or would it even be worth it?

 

Would it be better to go to a custom made intake?

Yes, the runners are smaller than the intake ports.

 

I cut my plenum in half and ported the runners all the way (from both sides) and matched them to the cyl head.

Made a noticeble differences.

 

Worth it? I had a friend to do the welding when I was done with the porting, so for me it was surely worth it (a couple hours work and a beer to my mate...).
