Default Porting aftermarket TB question

Dunno if this has been asked before but i came up empty using the search option.
Has anyone ever ported their 75mm MTI or 78/90mm LSX TB? Would it be worth it?
I have the 75mm polished MTI TB & 78mm LSX intake on my SS right now and was wondering if the TB could be ported out more and be worthwhile? If i cant port it, would it be worthwhile to get the 78mm TB?
I wanted the 90/90 LSX intake/TB but was told it wouldnt be worth it on my FI setup

Well it would be worth more than the 78mm FAST. I don't see porting it making a huge difference but I'll let others chime in.

You were told that the 90mm TB and FAST intake wouldn't help?!! Everything that I've heard is that FI or heads/cam is the ONLY time that it is worth it to get the 90mm one!! Weird . . .

was told money vs. power gain wasnt worth it. Im definately gonna get it when i get the 6.0L motor next year though
Do you think i can port out the MTI TB to at least 78-80mm?

anyone else think i should port the MTI 75mm TB or get a fast 78mmTB and sell the polished MTI TB?
The 90/90 stuff will come when i get the 6.0L iron block and run more boost sometime next year
