?s about plenum porting

I was thinking going to port my plenum this week but I had some questions first. What do I grind out? Can i use an inline air grinder or do I have to buy some special porter? Do you have to buy special porting bits or can you use air grinder bits? What gaskets do I need to buy? How much more horespower will it give me? Does anyone have any pictures of what I need to grind out from when they did it? For the people who did it, did you notice a big difference when it was done? I know I asked alot of questions but any help would be greatly apreciated.
