With the sleeves removed, the intake charge must slam into a dead end and then reverse upon itself to climb the lip through the port. With the sleeves, this effect is much less.
There have been many long drawn out arguments about removing the sleeves in an NA application. Time and time agin the conclusion is that there are no gains when we're talking about stock ports.

anyway, my hat is off to you, Jeff.
i admire your skill (welding
) and your end results. don't mind the people that live to tear you down. i think there are still plenty of us that offer a sincere thumbs up and pat on the back.

ok fine, so i suck at welding :-P. Seriously though, i'd like to thank everybody for the feedback i've gotten so far. It's nice to know that there are so many other people out there who understand the amount of work that goes into these kinds of projects. :-D
