johnstownhotrodsinc Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 ive done a search about stock ported throttle bodies and the guy who was doing it is no longer as far as i can tell. i had done one for my truck and one for another guy on here and we both noticed some gains...for me huge throttle response...if anyone would be interested in getting one ported let me know...i can do your stock one or theres a company that sells them on ebay off of LS1 crate motors and they are brand new. was thinking around $100 with a supplied throttle body and around $200 if i buy one for you as long as that company stays on ebay. simple driveway 10 minute bolt on!

sprayed99 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 is yours cable driven or electronic....might could do more with the cable ones ill look into it you can cut the stop, cut the front support for the butterfly, and port and polish them. If you haven't done them before you have to becareful that you dont screw up the shaft retainer or you will be buying another core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprayed99 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Also FYI 100 bucks to port and polish is kinda high... Jantzer only charges 60 bux and he has a reputation that is 5 miles long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
