it would not be worth it to fill in the groves,they really are not that wide or deep.and with the temperature variations that the intake sees i dont know how long something would last in those thin grooves,but my guess is not to long.

Great write-up I went ahead and did my FAST intake about a month ago. Did the same thing and everything went well although I was a little worried about grinding on 1000.00 dollar part also.

well i installed the intake last weekend and tuned it yesterday,it feels really good and my air/fuel is real good.I am getting it dynoed on the 13th(about a week) so i will let everyone know what i gain from the fast 90 and nick williams throttle body.Too bad we wont know how much the porting helped.

The porting work is very nice and clean. There is more to port in the 90mm though
You did what I call a stage 1 port job -ussually $150 . Stage 2 is that and direct porting to the heads -$250 and then there is a full port which shortens the runners and short turn radiuses,mostly for bigger cube motors -$450.
I remember getting one of the first 78mm's when they came out.First thing I did was grind the runner's like you did thinking "hope this doesn't screw up the intake". That gained me 20rwhp too from a stock LS6.
