Default Can you port a LS6 manifold? Is it even worth it?

Hey guys!

I have a stock ported TB. I can't afford money mods right now.
Would my combo benefit from this? full mod list
Has anyone done this? Pics?

A few do it, but I would say dont mess with it unless you know what your doing. Jay at Absolute Speed used to port LS6's, and TPIS offers a oval LS6 manifold, a long with several other sponsors.
Most just get the FAST 90mm and some port match it to their aftermarket heads.

Sorry Kev,
I thought you were Scott. Everyone knows you're in the 12's.

I agree with Jimmy P, leave the intake as is until your ready to move up to the FAST 90 then get it port matched. I'm not sure I would run the Meziere if you still drive the car every day....have heard some negative comments regarding them....as far as reliability in stop and go driving.

Thanks!

I've had the EWP for almost a year with zero problems in 100+ days with the a/c on in stop and go traffic for hours. I drive 100 miles a week. Lucky? Maybe.
