Golen Engine's is reported to have nailed the porting of a LT1 intake. Others may have, too, but I've only read the reference to Golen.
You could call them and see what's what. Don't know if it's posted on their website.

At first I was going to recommend Golen to get what numbers they came up with, but they might not be as objective as others would be. Not that I automatically distrust what they'd tell me, I just prefer someone independent test done by someone with no Dog in the Fight.
The article I read was very positive on their work, but, alas (LOL) no numbers were given. Just how many hours they put into the porting, the care that was given, etc.

I have an AI ported manifold but no before dyno with this combo. However, factory intake flows pretty darn well so I really did not expect much of a gain over stock at my build level.
however, it sure looked pretty and this combo has great street manners
IMO talk with your porter and ask him....In my case I was told the stock intake would suffice for my goals but their street strip porting would be worth some power.
However, I'm good to go if I ever want MORE power and build a hairier low end or bigger cam.
If you really want a comparison send me a stock intake/throttle body and a couple of hundred bucks for the dyno time and I'll eat the labor and gaskets for back to back swaps.
However, I believe the only results that matter are what happens on your car.

If you search the archives of the various LTx forums, you'll find similar numbers (10-20 RWHP) quoted by the other folks who do this for a living. Not sure I've ever seen a dyno sheet, though.
