Default Porting LS6 Manifold worth it?

Just wondering who here has done this and seen a gain in hp. I heard on some of the 450+rwhp H/C cars they had this done along with other little mods, which I didnt think was possible cause I know the manifold is made of some kind of plastic <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

So I figuered what the hell since I am going to swap the heads might as well do it then. If anyone has done this can you give me any tips on this. Worth it or waste of time <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

My opinion, waste of time. If you really are hell bent on porting an intake, get the Holley. You'll have better success.

But, if you must port a stocker, practice on an LS1 intake first! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

From what I've seen, you may only pick up 10 cfm or so or cause a loss in power. Its not worth it just like stated above.
