The only new TB that I would buy is the FAST 90. Other than that get your stocker ported. If you are planning on going with some pretty decent power in the future go with the FAST. Otherwise stick with the ported one

I ported mine. There are some good how-tos on how to do it if you search. It is not rocket science. What it is worth HP wise is still debatable. Just take your time and be careful.
When you are done in an hour you will be glad you did not fork out big cash for one.
Good Luck!!!

I ported my own TB, and I had problems since that. I mean, on cold startups my idle jumps up-and-down, and finally after 30 seconds finds its idle. It got worse after my cam swap...Now it takes 1 minute to stabilize....
I don't wanna spend $$$ on 90/90 combo, so I'll either get a 80mm BBK unit, or I'm just gonna buy a stock TB and replace it with my butchered stock unit...
