Ported stock TB is your best bet!

I was actually thinking of leaving the tb stock. My buddys tell me they didnt notice a difference after porting the stocker and a few also had idleing probs.

a ported stock tb done correctly will give you some hp gains and never cause issues. dont waste any money on aftermarket tb's if you just have a LS6 intake.

What kind of gains to bolt on cars typically see? Probably not enough to notice.

He takes some time getting back to you sometimes. Took me about a week, week and a half if I remember correctly.

its best to call him, he is a great guy, i spent an hour on the phone with him before ,very nice guy and does great work, he does the best work, but honest porting your stocker your self is very ,very easy, spend a few bucks or over a 100,thats up to you,think i did mine for 10 bucks, just read a write up and you will have no issues,
