Pineapple racing 6 port intake template?

Quick heads up on my build. Im refreshing my S5 NA block before i put a Camden EFI supercharger/meth injection kit on it in the spring time. Build consist of:

- atkins full rebuild kit minus their apex seals
- goopy apex seals instead
- very good shape S5 TII housings (stock port)
- S5 TII oil pump (because of the SC)
- rest of the engine will be S5 NA
- *removing 6 port sleeves because of the supercharger kit*

I just received a pineapple racing 6 port intake template for free today. Since i have the template and the tools i might as well port it.
But on their site they do not list this template anymore, i know they did along time ago. Is there any reason i shouldn't use this template? I tried to call and ask whats up but got no answer.

I've done porting before so don't really need tips of porting the plates. Mainly just need info about this template and see if its worth using. Thanks guys

Removing your aux port sleeves and progressive throttle body with the Camden is going to murder your low end and light throttle, so why not, may as well make the ports too big as well!

Seriously, you already have WAY too much port area to build the power levels that Camden will struggle to achieve, so I'd suggest leaving the ports alone.

I'd personally suggest selling the Camden kit to some sucker and saving yourself the aggravation of everyone else who has used one.

Im using this camden kit no matter what though. I bought it off someone on here who used it for years with the 8 psi pulley. Im not worried about any problems with the camden. Im not looking for TONS of hp, more so for a unique factor and a tad more grunt.

Someone told me they do still sell the pineapple racing template. Its just under the drop down menu now. So i guess this thread was pointless besides you giving me the heads up thats my port size is okay as is. Thanks

Yeah, a 6 port with removed sleeves sucks in the low end. Ask me how I know.

I just ported mine over the summer using the Pineapple racing templates. The ones I recieved didn't really touch the aux ports only the secondaries. Opened them a touch earlier and made the area between the secondary and aux ports smaller. I did not touch the aux ports at all. Only reason I mention it, is there too much port area across the board( all applications) or only in this application using the supercharcger? I removed the sleeves because I've had them wired open for the past 15 years anyway. Still breaking it in and haven't been above 4500rpm so I'm living in the low end and don't notice that it has made it worse. If anything it pulls better than before. Could be the flywheel though.

Bought my templates back in April though I think the original question was answered.
