On a stock engine you can tell a difference. And it's not in my head

I noticed a difference when I had mine ported.

There's a massive difference in throttle response. the pedal becomes a hair-trigger and the power comes on quicker. It's not much on the dyno, maybe 5rwhp

Porting it is worth it

I had a local member do it for me (twice - two different cars) who does a fine job.

Agreed mine is ported and it has much better response so +1 on getting done.

Okay thanks i get paid tommorow so im getting it for sure

So is there any tricks i need to know about installation on this p&p throttle body?

It's a stock throttle body with some material removed. It installs just like the stock one. Make sure your rubber lines don't have cracks, and that your intake throat seal is in good shape.

Just installed mine from these guys. Great service and they ship very fast. Awesome looking TB. Highly recommended

put towels underneath the coolant lines so antifreeze doesn't spill on your belts. And take your time. You will need torx tools (forgot exact size) to remove sensors on the side of the TB

I don't know about shops in your area, but I've had two tb's ported by two different shops and it was under $40 both times. Just my two cents. Definitely worth it, however.

^^ that sponsor does top notch work. I got mine from him and it is excellent

I want one of his TB's so bad, OP you should spend the 30 extra and get a nice ported, polished, & powdercoated TB.

I got my ported/polished/powder coated TB from this guy locally. This was the 2nd TB I bought from him and I have had no complaints both times. Highly recommend. I got one with the epoxy mod and everything in the flat black, it matches the stock LS6 intake pretty well.
