Just get the turbo ported. Much easier and cheaper.
Hey what would you use to port it, carbide bits, grinding stones, sanding rolls? Could you use Carbide bits with a dremel? Or would something like that be better suited to an air-powered grinder?

After just finishing a porting job myself, GET A DAMN CARBIDE BIT!!!! I did a stock 1g mani and wish i hadn't been cheap. I got the carbide bit on the last night of porting. Cut the time in half, easy. Use the carbide to take out larger pieces of the metal and get the areas ground down, then use a stone to smoth them out. Follow up with some sand paper to get it nice and smooth and your all set.

I know you can get a set of 3 of them from Sears for about $30 bucks, i opted out and got a single bit for $6 due to the lack of ever needing htem again, and being broke.

Harbor Freight or similar is the best place to get them. Sears does have them but they arent cheap and they are the same quality.

I have a 3" gm maf, and maft. I'm still worried about fuel cut. What are my options? get DSMLink and STFU? A lot of people have been suggesting I go with a 2G MAF. I know some people say the MAFT is a POS, and would rather have a 2G mas. What are your opinions on the 2G MAF vs 3" GM/MAFt?

i've never hit fuel cut with the maft. isnt one of the switches in the control box a fuel cut toggle? its been awhile since i opened it up.

a 2g maf is fine as long as your power goals are in the low-mid 400s.

Funny you say that.

Do you feel right tuning and setting AEM up all on your own? Or, since you know people that can help you, you feel right recommending it?

Dont get me wrong, AEM is obvioulsy the way to go if you have either A. Have the knowledge to do it, or B. Have the money to make it happen with the help of someone like Shane or Josh or whoever that has worked with it extensively(sp?)

Lol swifty, I know AEM is bomb shit, but I'm not gonna need that for awhile, if ever. Look at Vassil, he ran 10's with DSMLink, so I definately don't see it as a limiting factor. And plus, I'd rather have DSMlink because it's way more user friendly, and I could actually tune it myself, and learn a lot in the process.
