Default Extrude hone lt1 intake?

Has anyone had experience in an LT1 or LT4 extrude hone intake? If so what kind of power have you seen and is it worth it? All responses are appreciated.

$693 stage 1 $783 stage 2 and that is going to mostly take what is there and make it bigger, not make changes that a skilled porter knows need to be done.

Let the guy who did the heads do the intake.

If it only cost $100, I'd say it'd be worth it along WITH having it professionally ported. But whether you'd do it before or after the port work, not sure heh
I mean, it looks really nice, but like Cap said it just isn't beneficial enough to justify the cost. Just looks more like a light port job just to get the roughness out, but obviously the difference is it does the whole item and not just what is in reach.
Looks nice though heh

Again more helpful info! Still would like to know if anyone has had first hand experience with it in general. My friend is building an LT1 and looking for all the power he can get, and usually money isn't a prob. It looks good though, Maybe I could get the combustion chambers and exh. runners done on the LQ9.
