Is a 1262 port job too big for 306 or 331?

I was wondering, b/c my heads were ported here by a reputable porter to a 1262 gasket. I have them on my car and she runs like a beast. I have a ported GT-40 intake. I'm looking to get a systemax intake(port matched lower). Is that too much porting? I have a 331 stroker kit, I've yet to build, which I plan on using on it.

No, not to much on a stroker...when you match the lower to a 1262 it will be flowing nice. Do you plan to run a blower or anything?

The Systemax Lower is basically a 1262 out of the box. You will get more out of matching the intake to the heads and not gasket matching.
