Default Anyone recommend someone that ports TB’s?
I am looking for someone that does a quality job porting throttle bodies. I was looking on ebay and the guy with the ***** in the background seems to do it for a good price. He goes by WS6nJAX on here but I won’t give his ebay name in fear of getting my thread closed. Are there any good sponsors out there too that will do the work? With the ebay one I am most concerned with enough metal being taken off.

I ran a Shaner ported TB for years, really quality work. I don't know if he's still around. Search

Why not buy a larger one from one of the sponsors? I went up to a 92mm for 370 bucks.

Bo White is the man! Not sure if he's still doing them. He got back into it awhile back. Search for him!

Thanks for the replies guys. I have an 02 Trans Am that I need the TB ported for. I think I will try “thepowerpro” or Bo White as he goes by on here.

For a daily driver with an LS6 intake and a 225/229 cam, would you want a 78 mm TB? 80? 85?

I am thinking about getting a Shaner S2...

Thanks!

Mark Shaner did a great job with my TB back in 2006.

Got an S3 from Shaner in 2006 and I've been happy with it. It did take awhile for me to get it, think he was having some medical issues at the time though.

I am offering CNC throttle body porting for all LS series motors.
These offer consistent repeatable results compared to hand porting.

Please call if I can be of assistance. 724-322-8505
