I machined it out on a cnc mill. I was going to mill it out to 62/63mm and make a butterfly as well, but I noticed the intake itself is only approximately 60mm so I didn't want to take it off just to gain 2-3mm.

I did a complete tune up, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter. Next up is a switch to synth oil and larger filter.
