superheart you had too much mechanical which limited your initial. That killed your idle and caused higher temps.
I like ported. It gives me a good throaty idle, a nice deaccelaration when I let off the gas. I have 16 initial and 34 full, my idle temps are 180 just like my running temps. once the throttle plates open up it acts just like manifold vacuum. Except for idle they seem to be very close to the same. One port being above the throttle plate and one being below. Once the plate opens what is the difference? I believe you should try both and see which one you like.
