Boring the Intake Manifold

Can anyone tell me how to bore the intake manifold? What are the risks? And what tools are needed?

Thanx

You don't bore a manifold, you either extrude hone or port match it. On a stock engine, you most likely won't like the results of either this or an upgraded manifold.

Why would you want to go bigger on the manifold? If anything, you should have the head port matched to the manifold to eliminate any bottlenecks that will occur.
