Default P/P throttle body install

Just did my own porting and polishing on my throttle body and installed it on thanksgiving... I would say this was probably one of my best mods. I noticed a good difference in throttle response and it a lot better too (being polished) very happy with results and because it was FREE!!! I highly recommend this mod to others

I changed my O2 sensors, and it was an actual difference. I think that this must be in your head.

I think youre going to get an easy 10% decrease in MPG, most members report this. Including myself. Oh well, I didnt buy the car for the MPG specifically.

No problem if you don't have a dremel. A 1" drum sander for a drill works great for cutting the ridge down. A couple assorted grits and you're good to go.
I use it first before switching over to the dremel.

I'm just worried about taking too much off and going totally FUBAR on my car... then it'll be down, and while it's down I'll feel obligated to get heads and cam... and of course a new clutch... it's a bad cycle

Just gonna have Bo White do it
