Al it could help but I already port matched the intake back 3 inches into
the ports to have the ports line up with the TFS Twisted Wedge heads.
Extrude honing would increase intake runner volume and in my case probably
hurt low end torque by slowing the intake charge velocity (Bigger tube to
flow in) with some upper RPM improvement. My goal was to maximize power
UNDER the 5500-6000 RPM threshold and not to have an engine that I
mercilessly rev and then subsequently grenade.
The idea does have merit though and in applications where you are not able
to mechanically port a runner extrude honing is the ONLY way to go.

Would extrude-honing or porting your intake prove beneficial ?
I 've had my GT-40 lowers ported on my last two late-model 5.0 Mustangs &
gained noticeable seat-of-the pants power.
