I did planty of searching and found zilch but maybe I wasnt typing in the correct search words or something. Are there any pics or writeups on anyone porting an aluminum intake such as a weiland or professional products? I see they have a removeable plate on the bottom for easy access, but what is supposed to be shaved down or reshaped inside there? Any info from people that have done this or pics are appreciated....

As far ported intakes most run fast. As far as alum most just clean up the opening

By opening do you mean tb opening?, intake to head port openings? Since it has a removeable bottom plate one would think that it is there because the manufacturer wanted people to be able to manipulate the inerds. It looks smooth and decent enough in there already. But Ive worked around aluminum my entire life and am very good with it. I have access to plenty of tools cnc machines, vibratory aluminum finishers, plasma tables, lathes, and an assortment of air tools. Id like to take advantage of this while its off the car and get the most out the intake I can. I just need to know where it needs to be touched up inside, I was hoping someone had done this that had a snap shot

I would open up the TB inlet to 90mm(if possible),and clean up the ports and runners a little

Wel crapola...thanx for the consideration anyways ..what is the purpose of the removeable bottom panel?...I cant find any pictures or writeups on here about people modifying the inerds of thse aluminum intakes... makes me curious and id like to do all I can before putting it on the car

it allows better access to the intake port runners. take off the bottom panel and youll be able to port the whole runner, and not just the opening
