Default SBC Intake Porting

Currently run a Vic E single plane, best so far was a 10.2@140 but since car is down for HG, figured I may port the intake
(http://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-29785)

Is there any worthwhile gains to having the intake hogged out?

Just about all the as cast single planes can pick up from a good port job. Mainly matched to heads and the plenum work to balance air flow. On na setups they do gain good hp. Same should apply to boost but i'd do it for best air distribution to all 8

Depends how large port the head has. Mine are 1207 size so i really had to open up the vic e at the runner entry and carry the cross section into the runner alittle ways since its 1205 as cast.
