I odnt know if I would want to try and port one as with a FI car you will need the intake to be able to support all the boost and pressure. Im sure there woulkd be material to take off, but to do this properly I would think you would have to take the intake manifold apart.

There is someone in WA state who ports the LS2 intake for a fee and has had pretty good results. His attempts on the LS6 intake though have netted zero gains thus far and he has been trying for a while. Not sure there is anything there to gain and that is why you likely won't find a procedure.

Probably the most that you will be able to do is maybe port match and clean up any flash casting or roughness in each runner. Its difficult to get inside and do anything to it. There may be a little clean-up at the intake /TB mouth. You would only see minimul if any gains.

You already have the LS6 intake. Standard from 2001 on.

You'd do better to install the FAST intake.
