is there any benefit to porting my melling m155

slowly building my motor, and was wondering if there was any benefit to porting the oil pump and blueprinting it?

Blueprinting a stock pump? Yes. Actually "porting" it? No, at least not on an LT1. I have heard the LS1 guys doing it, but since the LT1 is a typical SBC there's no real benefit.
