Do a search before you spend money on porting anything. And don't just go buy a ls2 intake because someone tells you it's a good idea. There are plenty of treads over this topic

There has been a lot debate abt a ported LS2 vs a LS6 the only reason I'm considering a LS2 ported is cus of the snout of the LS2 90mm the real question is if a ported LS2 has the same plenum volume has the LS6

The gains I've seen posted from porting a ls6 are minimal to none outside of the snout conversion type.

Unless you can find a write up and do it yourself I wouldn't bother.
