Back in the TPI days, a few magazines did this process in some builds. They all were happy with the results, took a lot of meat out.

Re: Porting TPI bases

Ever look into doing it yourself? Factory of aftermarket? How far are you looking to go with porting?

Check these guys out for extrude honing.

Also here is a good article where they extrude honed a stock tpi base and got some impressive flow numbers out of it.
