[QUOTE="Bvette2000, post: 2700, member: 128"] [U]FOR THOSE THINKING OF PORTING[/U] From what I know porting the LS6 intake is good for 10 rwhp and 9 rwtq - stock. Porting the LS6 isn't a bad thing, every little bit helps. Would I do it? - Hell ya!! The reason for porting is to compensate for the air leaks which are inherent with the "Lost Core" manufacturing process, (this is the manufacturing process which produces the one piece manifold design). It is hard to repair for this defect without risking further damage or complete failure to the manifold. Rather than try and risk sealing the unit up for these leaks, porting elevates the power potential by increasing the air flow that is naturally lost. If you have ported heads, high lift cam and good after market exhaust [U]the power level for a ported manifold can increase to as much as 20 hp[/U] with these additional goodies. [/QUOTE]
