Default porting and polishing questions

i was just a little bit curious as to what all parts can be ported and polished on a motor to improve performance. im considering buying a porting and polishing kit to play around with and i was just wondering what all i can port on my car (1990 5.0 lx) to improve performance. i understand the basics (heads (definatley not doing on my own) intake (possibly) throttle body (possibly) and port matching.) but i was wondering what other parts can be ported and polished and also what would be some good parts to practice on. my dad owns a small-engine shop (lawnmower stuff) so i have alot of stuff i could practice on, but i definatley want to mess with some of my own stuff.

Pretty much heads and intake. If you do anything to the mass air you will probably ruin it. Remember bigger is not always better. http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/te...akePorting.pdf

Not on porting but a useful link http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/tech/engine/#ClyHead
