The shop is gone but it was Arlington Motorsports

I had the car when it was bone stock and with the ported intake but I also got my asp pulley done at the same time so I cant really say what the intake did on its own but I doubt I would have noticed the 5-15 hp that I hear it gives.

I have one from Cartek, no before after numbers just after. The TB neck was enlarged also good for eight to ten wheel horses plus or minus depending on who did it. Check out my web page for pics.

to be honest, its really not worth the time or effort!
if your motor needs runners bigger than the LS6, you need the 90/90 FAST!

I think the best thing to di is get it extrude honed. That will open it up all the way through smooth. It doesnt do alot to open it up just at the exit of the intakes runner.

Possibly, absolute speed used to have an affordable special for ls6 porting, unfortunately they are no longer in business. However, there may be some fbody enthusiasts that have one or tested one and just haven't gotten a chance to dyno or track.
