Where are you located? A guy in my club does them for $75 and that includes shipping it back to you.

*not a sponsor.

Do it yourself...nothing to it....I used the guide wilwaxu posted...Well worth it...It's cheaper to do it yourself and you can pick and choose how you want to do it ie epoxy, half shaft, etc

I am still planning a sponsorship for the summer starting in May or so- gettin used to workin the schedule I have and its gettin easier for me. If nothin comes up(weres the smilie with his fingers crossed?) Ill be doin some more soon as a sponsor again soon. It will be in my sig when it happens since 9 ball takes care of that for me.

What's it cost to become a sponsor? I have ported my own throttle body and a member on here from the west coast as well. I think they turned out great, dyno results coming soon
