Default LS6 Intake

I've done a search on this to no avail. I have a LS6 itake on my 98. Is there any way to better the LS6? No $ for a FAST.

Is there a guide on porting my LS6 intake or better yet can it even be done?

I would leave the intake alone. Picking up ported throttle body will help your setup. Another addition that will help is underdrive crank pulley. A lot of people get into porting these poly intakes and do more harm then good.

+1 on no touch! the only reason you can port one is if it comes apart like the FAST. and even then you need to know what you are doing.
