Looks like the TB and intake porting might be my next mod before I slap a supercharger on. Is a tune required right after the porting or can I get it to a shop 60 miles away.

I wouldn't see an issue with that, the tune is just to make the most out of the added flow. Not sure how lean these cars are from the factory so you should maybe stay out of it on the way over though.

Our shop just does the porting, not the dyno work. So, I don't have any before/after dyno reports to show you. However, customer results indicate that the LS2 basic porting gets 9-13 rwhp gains and our LS2 radical porting gets 15-20 rwhp gains. Yes, you're right.... the LS2 gets the best gains out of the LSx mix from porting.

Yes, a tune is required after the porting. However, driving it to a shop 60 miles away shouldn't be a problem. Just so you know, intake manifold porting will make very little difference once you switch over to the supercharger. It would just give you more driving pleasure until you make that big investment.
