Ported intake or upgrade

I did a search, but I didn't see anything. Has anyone installed another intake manifold or did some porting to the stock one?

Specifically I'm looking for something to help all around. Since I have 3.42's, I'd rather not loose any bottom end torque.

Intake isn't going to gain you much right now. It would be more of a supporting mod (IMHO). A cam, headers, torque convertor, or even an electric fan setup would all net you more individually or together.

I am personally swapping my cam first (along with a torque convertor built to the cam's specs) and then may very well drop a turbo on it. Coming from an F-body, I can vouch that the 5.3 can take boost pretty well as we have actually swapped them for the 5.7s.
