With porting bits and a dremel tool...goof ball.

I've seen a few ported LS2s floating around out there that work good.

not much to be gained.

porting plastic is easy, as long as you know how much material you have to work with.

the FAST is designed for porting in mind. i did mine with a dremel and those tubular sandpaper bits.

material comes off fast (no pun intended)...so you have to be carefull...very easy to go too far.
