Polishing is ok but you need the surfaces to be rugged in some places to make the air a bit turbulent...

I had mine ported and polished by someone with machining tools and he's a professional. He was unable to port the inside of the upper intake, He ported it until where it curves. But the lower plenum came out really nice and I noticed some gains about 5-10hp. Now I also got my heads ported and polished with a valve job and I assume thats where I will notice the most gains in combination with the ported intake.
