i just bought the ls6 intake for my car ans was wondering if i should get it ported before i put it on. I can get it done for a good price and im curious though if it is worth it. Would it make a difference at all?

come on... help me out guys
me myself i dont think you'll have much to gain JUST porting the intake.
meaning i should port the throttle body also? because the intake iisnt on the car so it reallt isnt a problem to get it ported. its really cheap to do too
Porting the throttle body will just make it a smoother ride, and better throttle response.Quote:

I would port it while its off and if its cheap, no harm no foul. Also I WOULD port the TB, I noticed a massive diff with my TB ported. Every car is diff but the ported TB was the last mod I did and by the SOTP feeling, it seems like my car gained a SOLID 10 hp out of it. I did some runs before the TB and some runs after the TB and everyone that has ridden in my car has noticed a gain. But like I said, some cars respond to mods diff.
I Saw A Difference Also
