Default Stock Intake Porting Questions

Okay, I pulled my stock LS2 Intake to send off for porting. I'm a bit confused here. What in the heck is there to port on these things? It's not like any intake manifold I have ever seen. My first LSx motor. It's obviously made of some kind of composite and I don't see any real areas to make any difference. Does the manifold get split to port? What the heck am I missing here?

Thanks,

Paul

They take out some of the meat on the inside. They actually take out a lot but it is a little hear and there. I believe if you check out LS2portworks they may show before and after. I've thought about it. I've got a Katech cam package and maxed at 558 rwhp. I've already done the ported TB but not the intake. Please shoot me a PM or email me at: ho52806@gmail.com when you get it back. That's the last mod I haven't done. Also, to realize full benefits you may have to retune.

My TB is also already ported and it will be re-tuned when I get the intake back on. Should be in the next couple weeks so I'll try to remember to post up some results. Unfortunately there won't be good before and after "numbers" because they will be from very different dynos but oh well.
