Default Port and Polish TB's? Anyone do this?

Does anyone still PNP TB's on here? I know someone used to do it and I don't think he does anymore. I don't need it done right now, just for future reference.

I sent mine off to New Era and it'll be back here tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes after it's bolted up.


I did a search awhile back, before I shipped it, and found a big *** post about people getting this done. From the looks of it, everyone was happy with the results and I didn't see any complaints.

I don't have the right tools to do it. I'd sure like to tackle something like this myself though.

They ported and polished the throttle body on my car and my friends car and it came out great....but don't let them do the bumpstop mod. They ground way too much off and it was throwing engine codes....
