Porting LS6 intake?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but search is showing no results for me. If someone could point me to a thread that discusses this that would be great too. But is it possible to port an LS6 intake? If so, would the benefits be worth the effort? I'm trying to get all I can out of my current setup, next on the agenda would be to port the TB, electric water pump, and if porting the intake was possible, that too. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I doubt it woudl work, its not metal so porting plastic doesn't seem like it would work. But I am not %100 certain
