Newbie question, anyone ever tried hand-porting a stock LS1 intake? Just wondering if it's been done, and if so, if it's worth the effort. Looking for the power of the LS6 intake (if possible), but for the time being don't want to spend the money on one, and am focusing on making my car handle better.

Possible...yes. worth it, no. The ls6 and all aftermarket intakes have larger plenum area, which is where power comes from. You will out run the plenum before you max out the runners. Making larger runners without opening up the plenum will only put your intake under vacuum sooner and you will most likely lose mid range power.
