Default Throttle body choices

I am trying to decide between all the different ported throttle bodies that are for sale. I don't really want to do it myself since I trust a machine much more than my own two hands. I like the Shaner (still trying to decide between the S2 or S3) but how much of a difference is there between the different ported throttle bodies. Are the ones like shaner costing $150 better than say the Thunder Racing one costing $75?


I have searched, and have not been able to find the information I am looking for.

The more time that is spent porting them and the amount of material remover the better.

However its a decision you have make yourself on whether the extra money is worth it or not.

Have a read up on porting, its not that hard and is FREE when you do it yourself.

I have the shaner S2 and I dont really know if I saved ALOT of horse. Probably NOT.

I DO know that my throttle response feels better.

I really bought it to boast I have a shaner lol.


I bought mine used for 150 and then sold my stocker for 50. So I paid 100 total for mine.
