Default Opinions on adding ported TB

Dynoed the new C1 cam and LS6 intake combo today and ended up with 365 RWHP and 354 RWT. A/F is around 12.8-13.0 across the board. The car also has LT's on it and all the obligatory bolt-ons, of course. Is there anything left in it or is a ported TB a waste of time? The tune is pretty much maxed out so there's not much room, if any, to tweak. Thoughts?

Also, the search function gave me an error message.

Go for it. If your trying to get every last bit of HP out of your car its no reason not to.

I have a guy running a TB that is at some unreal rwhp with just bolt ons, like a 370rwhp number.

At the track last night a non TB SS vs a TB SS was off 2mph and .25, so it's definately worth something.

Worth a good 5-8rwhp. Possibly as much as 10.

I'm using a Shaner S2 truck throttle body right now. I couldn't see any difference. Didn't dyno any different than stock...nor did the BBK while I had it on. If you want to trade parts for a bit to test, let me know.

'Course, everyone will tell you to test it at the track, but I don't go to the track. 365rwhp? Your car an automatic?

No, M6. I think I'm on the tad low/normal range for some reason. I gave up some removing the cutout so I really gained about 50 RWHP from the swap/intake. Good? Bad? Not sure, but I'll keep going!
