Was I suppose to take the rotary intake valve out and then make my ramp with
the high temp putty? or was I suppose to leave it in and make the ramp inside
it? wouldn't it be a bigger port if it was out? I thought at some point
someone said to leave it in, so I did.

Make sure you remove the pin out of it. Chuck had one work its way out
and be ingested by the motor with a consequent off air port landing.

BTW since your engine is a six port with out extensive porting IMHO
you will be disappointed in the power.

Did you even read the question? Because the answer you gave me doesn't
make much sense. I made no mention of a pin and I didn't ask about the
engines performance. What I want to know is, do I have to leave the valve
in the port and if so why????????? it seems to me the valve is restricing
the diameter of the port so why leave it in? Is the port to big without
the valve in it ?????

"someone said to leave it in, >>>>so I did<<<<<."

You said you left it in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chronologically that was the last thing you said
so I took you at your word.

Therefore I said you would be disappointed in the power.
Street porting is totally out of the question with the rotary
intake valve in.

The rotary valve has a pin in the end and that is how it is
twisted. The pin can work loose and can be ingested into the
engine.

I would take the rotary intake valve out. Then you won't have
to worry about the pin. That will make it better
but you will still be disappointed with the power IMHO unless
you extensively street port it.
