Default Should I get a ported manifold and where

I have already got a borla attack exhaust, and I have bought a soler 91 mm throttle body , a AFE cold air intake and the soler throttle controller. Should I go-ahead and get a ported manifold? Who should i go threw to get one?

I got mine from Wilson Performance. There’s not a whole lot of material that needs to be removed / smoothed but every little bit helps. I guess.😊

Average HP increase from porting LT2 intake? About 3 horsepower. I think a soler tb plus the intake is the way to go. That is what I did, hard to judge results without before and after dyno. I think mid-range torque feels stronger, that is subjective.

I used socal porting for my C7 and C8 and was very happy with the work and price. Got a slight discount for sending them 2. Hell I even sent my Soler 91mm so they could port match. Great service. I am in Norcal and with all the fires in Socal I am not sure if they are affected. I would call.
