Default inlet porting ls6 intake.

Aloha gang,
About to put my 80mm throttle body on my ls6 intake. Can any porting be done at all to the inlet and still retain the rubber seal? Looks like I might be able to take a little off. Or should i just port the inlet real good and just use gasket sealer to seal the tbody

If I were you I'd ship it out & have a professional port it & have them do the TB as well.

Nah, I dont want to pay someone to do what I can do for free. Did my own heads cam etc also. I already finished porting the 80mm BBK tbody, made a gasket for the inlet to intake so i dont have to goop it all up with sealer. I don't think i'LL have time to pull the intake to port it by Friday though. Matter of fact I know I won't. I work everyday. Bummer
