Wink Well I ported my Throttle Body and........

All I can say is wow. When people say there's a difference in throttle response they mean it!! You barely gotta touch the throttle and your movin! Also now anything over half throttle = spinning tires It's cool I guess but slows me down.

Also noticed my water pumps leaking when reinstalling the tb

Well for anyone whos thinking about it, DO IT! 30 bucks in dremel bits + 220grit sand paper + 5 hours = self ported tb.

If you used a dremel thats why it took you five hours.

I dunno it looks like theres a slight leak coming from the passage where the pump meets the block.

Well atleast I found where my antifreeze smells coming from.
