Seriously? 
Before you go calling thousands of LT1 owners "idiots", why not back yourself up with some type of logic?
If you want a 52mm (or even a 54mm), yes you can have your stock one ported by a professional. It's not something a novice should try. But if you want a 58mm, you are limited to purchasing an aftermarket throttle body.
Sorry if you think I'm an idiot for wanting a good-looking polished aluminum throttle body, and have the cash for it. I personally went with the Holley 58mm, and am very satisfied. I suppose that's idiotic.

Do you guys have any info on who does this service, I used to frequent the B-body sites and there was a Matt Blom that did this, I've lost his contact since though. Thanks.

I ported and polished it myself, NO biggie, gained about a 10th with all of my supporting mods, I also ported and polished the airfoil right into the airflow track, worked awesome
