You send your heads in and they port them or you can call him and see if he has some heads laying around that you can trade for. Work is great on his heads, he has been around for a while now and in my opinion he knows what he is doing.

I would buy a TB used, they cost too much new. Are you doing the intake also? How big of budget?

Stock works from what I herd theres a guy around here running 9's with a stock T/B and all his past cars had them to. He was saying its a waste of money , but thats just what I read , so I'm just saying ...............

I'm 21 and going to school so the 1600 for heads and can is a nice chunk out of my account. I could afford a throttle body but if I don't need to I d rather not.

Well, I am just going to throw this at you bud if you want a TB, I havef heard good reviews from these throttle bodies if you were interested and it is by far the best price.

Professional Products 58mm $219

it's crazy how it works out. Whatever you think you're going to spend double it.

It's proved right time and again. It's crazy.

You don't need to worry about the parts (usually). It's the workmanship and cleanliness of the install you have to worry about.
