Take it to a machine shop. They cleaned my lower intake really well when it was milled.

well i would had but its kind of my only means of tranportions right now. So i took some engine cleaner and a wire brush and spent a lot of time getting down and dirty cleaning all the parts. though i have got a scrap intake that i have been practicing on so i can port my intake. so when it comes time i think as long as i don't f up on that really bad i going to sway all of the just parts in and go to my friends shop and have everything hot bathed and start the porting and polishing. The best part is i am find ways to take weight of the stock intake so far i have taken about 5 pounds off.
