Is the surface flat enough or if I went through the trouble of removing my IHS from the p4 should I lap the heatsink as well?

Thanks
 
There are fine machined grooves on the bottom. you might want to lap if you remove the ihs.
 
yeah, if you lap the heatsink to a PERFECT shine, and remove the integrated heatspreader, you could get a whole 3 degrees under the right conditions, assuming part of the core doesnt come off with the heatspreader when you remove it.
 
3 degrees?

I lapped my sp-94 tonight, 400 grit, 800 grit (couldn't find any 600), 1000 grit, 1500 grit and 2000 grit, and I got a 6.5 degree drop in temps. :D Worth the 12 dollars I spent on sand paper and the hour and a half of lapping, if you ask me :)
