Default Porting Throttle Body and bypassing TB

I was told that this helps knock off atleast 2-3 tenths in the 1/4. I have just enough money to do this mod but I wanna know if it'll be worth it. Several people have told me it will, but I'd still like more opinions.

doing the bypass, bump stop mod, and porting should definitely give you a nice power boost. its definitely worth it, especially if you do it yourself (very cheap).

yah we noticed our TB blades certainly didn't open all the way. 4.3V max TPS voltage confirmed it. Can't be good for an n/a car to have that..
