The 99-04 intakes and heads are WILD. They're totally trick for OEM units, but developing a manifold to work properly with them is exceedingly difficult for a backyard operation.
Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness,his upper rooms by injustice,making his countrymen work for nothing...Does it make you a king to have more and more cedar?Did not your father have food and drink?He did what was right and just,so all went well with him. He defended the cause of the poor and needy,and so all went well...But your eyes and your heart are set only on dishonest gain,on shedding innocent blood and on oppression and extortion. Jer 22:13, 15-17

Take a look.
very nice write up, think that deserves a sticky
That seems like a ton of work... I would rather just spend the money and get a Port and Polish Job done...
this is what I was thinking of. Still haven't made up my mind, though.
Procharger - Remote Turbo.
Tough choice.

Porting and polishing is really not that hard. It's all about taking your time and paying attention to detail. I've done a few intakes and heads and they turned out very well (even the first ones). And remember, aluminum cuts really easy, don't get too aggressive or use very abrasive cutters.
I remember in shop class in high school I rebuilt a 4 banger I think it was ...... maybe it was a V6. We also polished the ports with a drill and the stupid thing and you go up and down for like 2 days lol. Cant remember much from those days ..... I just remember that part in particular .... im guess thats polishing a port?
You're probably remembering a flap-wheel on a drill. It's tedious, but flap wheels will give you a decently round bore, because I'm sure many people have turned round ports oval with dremmels.
when i built my 289 in the 70`s, i spent a ton of hours porting everything that could be. on the heads i did the exaust ports to the header, i did the intake to the gasket and the intake ports. i did the spacer on top of the hi-rise to the holly carb even. i opened up the oil drain holes in the head. de-burred every part on the block and heads while i was at it. i went through alot of stones. time i had, money i didnt. it turned out awesome.
