Default Ported TB for LS1...best deal?

Who has the best deal on ported TBs for my LS1? If they are reasonably priced I will buy one, if not I'll just save up for the LSX 90mm combo

The best deal is a Dremel, some fine sandpaper, and some JB Weld.

ls1speed.com sells ported TB's for $130. The only other place I know of that does this is Combination Motorsports, at $150.

LS1speed's TB's are on an exchange basis though, right? I like the MTI Throttle Body myself, it's purty

Almost every shop can port a throttle body. It will be around 100-150 depending on the place. With regards to the LSX combo, I wouldn't do that if you have stock cubes or a mild/small H/C combo...wouldn't be worth the money for the gains over a ported TB/LS6 intake manifold
