Default Porting my throttle body, question....

Ok, I am porting my throttle body (I know finally) I think I got the ridge near the blade pretty much gone but it still doesn't look like alot of the pictures I am seeing. How much of which parts do I take off? When do I stop ?

I guess I just don't want to mess it up!

Thanks for the help guys! and yes I did search and I've seen wilwaxu's walkthrough too...

What exactly do you mean? Post up a pic and I'm sure that would help. Remember, the main goal of porting the throttle body is to just smooth everything out, get rid of that ridge, and the front lip...not necissarily to port the living **** out of it until the walls are paper thin.

mine are usually paper thin...but very smooth...something you need to understand is the lip right in front of the blade isnt that thick really...and if you try to port it down to much youll punch through the bottom....just get a good even port all the way around...
