The only thing that worries me about it is that you can't control where material is taken away. If it's a polishing process instead of a porting process then it's not as much of an issue.

do you think i'd see much of a gain with a mirror polished extrude honed lt1 intake? I contacted a dude that does it and state that "routinely delivers increases that can exceed 30 percent on aluminum intake manifolds "

I think if a guy tells you that its a good idea to stay away from him.
