You can't port and polish a Thermoplastic intake manifold.

The stock intake is really a good unit and doesn't require any modification to perform well. Best to look elsewhere. I did a ported and polished throttle body from Mark Shaner. This is a great mod and relatively inexpensive. I found a used throttle body from an 02 Z06 and sent that to Mark so that I could keep my stock factory unit. I try to save all the original parts as I make changes to the car.

He didn't "make fun of him." He simply corrected him. There's a difference.
