Porting LT1 Intake
I did mine in my garage with a dremel and 60 grit sanding drums. I just put my new gaskets over the ports and traced them with a felt tip marker and wne at it, but be sure to leave just a little bit of your line so the intake ports are just slightly smaller than the gaskets so you don't have the air hitting the gaskets and making turbulance.
But on a side note I think it would have been way more worth it to send my intake to LE or AI and have them port it to really get the full benefit, but thats a project for next winter

If the heads are as cast I really would not bother. Since the gen 1 and gen 3 motors respond so well to intake swaps and such guys are way too fast to assume the gen 2 needs the same. Fact of the matter is the stock intake works supprizingly well as cast. Once you start porting heads and stuff sure have the heads guys port it but till them leave it alone.
A local guy with a TPI car was telling me how he swapped to a LT1 intake from a Super Ram on a low 12 second car, gained lowend torque and highend HP. He did not have enough runs in on it to have a solid handle on the ET difference.

don't bother unless you have the heads...and let the head porter do the intake, alot of the work is hard to get to and you need experience to get anymore flow out of it.
The stock intake is pretty good out of the box.....trying to do a DIY port job on it will probly hurt you and destroy an intake in the process

Depends upon the overall combo. On stock or near stock it's a waste of time, but on higher hp applications it's very worthwhile. You need to always look for the weak link. In lower hp applications it not, in higher it is a weak link.
