I don't think you will see any performance gains by just polishing.

I highly doubt polishing it will make it work better, but who knows. I really don't see how it matters tho.

There's nothing practical you can do to the stock AFM to reduce its restriction. The TB can have the #2 secondary throttles removed, and then reshaped internally for better flow. Polishing it is a waste of time and won't achieve anything.
