LS4 Intake porting. Worth it? I read through the LS1/6 intake swap article and i'm not sure if I would want to put that much work into a new intake.(i'm lazy, yes I know haha). If I were to bring my intake to a shop and have it ported would I be able to get close to the flow of an LS1/6 or are the LS4 intakes just that bad?

So you speak out of experience or opinion?
I know Mel, pretty sure he wouldn't be BS'ing about something of this nature.
I agree, LS6 mani is moreso worth the money though, especially when putting all costs into consideration.
Because you know somebody is irrelevant and so is trying to call someone out because they enforced what the community already knows. Ls4 Intakes will always have the issue of the tb neck you can hog the **** out of it all day along but it all comes down to feeding the motor with something almost half the size of the tb. There is no debating that fact.
