Default Porting, Extrusion Honing????

Just curious about the benefits of cleaning up the LT-4 heads and intake, have to pull the engine this winter so I think it would be a good time to send out the heads, intake.
Anyone who has gone through this, I would like to know your outcome.
Thanx

I floated this idea out there a couple of weeks ago regarding the extrude honing. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=134101

I did a bit more research and decided that If I were to do anything to the heads, I would go with a stage II port & polish. The biggest driver behind this was cost. The Extrude Honing is just as much (if not more). It shocked me a bit because I have heard that the process is very simple. Hopefully I'll have her in the shop soon.
