Default just ported my tb

i just got finished porting my tb it turned out pretty nice for my first time.... my uncle tried to help me and put a few grooves in it but other than that it turned out great...but i had a question how many times do u need to wrap the spring that pulls the blade back into place...because i wrapped it once and it seems like the accelerator is much easier to push down?

anyways heres a pic

your throttle body probably seems easier to open because you just serviced it........ err You did grease it up (shaft) and stuff right????

If you already have heads and cam it is probably in your head.

If you wrap it twice it will be hard as a rock. I learned by doing it three times because I was talking when putting it back together. lol plus I didn't know any better 5 years ago!
