has anybody sent there intake manifold out to be ported and who do you think does the best job, and what price did you pay.

Go look through your local yellowpages and find a machine shop or porting service and ask around. I hear some people on the board are going through ARD to get the intake manifold ported. If you have the cash and want the best results, get it Extrude Honed. It is a bit pricey though at $365 (this was the price a couple of yrs ago so check on it if you are thinking abou it). If yo don't want to pay for it, just get a dremel and some extension accessories and do it yourself. I got my intake manifold ported by the defunct Mutiny Racewerx for $100 since I knew the owner Ronnie back in the day.
