Default Does anyone port stock T/B's anymore?

I know a while back there were several people that ported T/B's and at least one person had something bad to say about each; did shitty work, never send the T/B back, someone owed someone money and so on.

I think I remember a sponsor that CNC's T/B's too but it cost a little bit more and I can't remember if it was proven to be worth it.

I am not going to take a dremel to it my T/B because I am sure I will find somehow to screw it up.

Thanks.

New era performance ports them, they are a sponsor on here. If you search on this forum , there was a post on it, I think it picked up 11rwhp.

Why pay someone for what you can easily do yourself?

yeah i was just bored and felt like being a smart ***.

anyways my experience with ported tb's is that there is no noticeable gain what so ever. which is why i just bought an 85mm with an adapter plate.
