Porting an LS6 Intake

Hello guys,

I am wondering, is there anything to be gained from porting an LS6 intake? I have not found very much information on this subject, but never the less, I will ask the tech knowledge base here for further insite.

Thanks guys...

If you're the one doing the porting, any gains to be had will be free, so why not.

You have a better chance of ruining the intake than helping it. It's too good out of the box and the gains from intakes like a FAST are from the runner design and extra plenum volume.

From everything I have personally seen there is only very minimal gains to be had from porting a LS6 intake.

That's actually a good point. If you haven't ported one before, there probably is a good chance of screwing it up and ruining the intake. Would not want to do that.
