I'd like to get a blue thunder intake, but as long as I'm going to get rid of the stock I was thinking maybe I could take a stab at modifying it first and save the $ for other parts.    I've never done anything like this before, but it seems worth a shot.   I have access to a vertical mill, but was wondering if anyone had some detailed information about what should be cut / changed to improve it's performance.  Is it worth the attempt?  If mummert is coming out with a new intake that is better than that blue thunder, than this might buy me some time while that is developed.  I just don't want to wreck my intake and then be out.  all help appreciated.
