I think the most recommend right now is cammin beaSSt (not sure on how exactly his handle is typed). I just bought a ported TB from TSP outright to avoid core charges, downtime, etc, but there are people doing a little more to them. Bo White stopped doing them, but I read he will have a group purchase of about ten pretty soon due to downtime at work, that might be worth a shot. I havn't seem him mentioned lately so I'm not sure what's up, but shaner did good work too.

Like was said above, if you don't mind a little down time then look to some of the board members that are also skilled at porting tbs. This is the cheapest way to go.

Hey I have a Shaner S3 and can tell u it works. I did a before and after and picked up 6.5 peak HP and 8 in the curve. Do a search on his screen name (Shaner) or S2performance.net

I could not have down time so I went with a Katech CNC ported TB and it worked! I did the SLP pulley at the same time and the total gain was 12 RWHP and 14 RWTQ. I figure the gains were split between the two mods.

Its hard to beat a ported stock TB. There is a little more power in the aftermarket TBs with a LS6 intake but its minimal and for the price difference its not worth it to me unless you are replacing the intake too like a FAST or something simular. All of the top TB porters are about the same, except maybe price
