find the member on here CamminBeast. Bo White recommends him & he will do it cheaper than that.

I went with jantzer as well, but a lot of people are having problems with him. Its definitely worth getting it ported though. I believe camminbeast (sp) is doing them right now for a really good price.

Anybody know how Ron's (Cammin BeaSSt) Porting Job performs vs. others? I know there is a general idea but i need proof. Bo White had a dynograph, and I've seen charts where Jantzer and Shaner both got 10-12 rwhp but where does Ron's fall into place I would love to get one by time winter rolls around, as long as it performs with the competition. I'm hoping you really can't go rong with $75

I'm very pleased with my Shaner S3 TB. It definitely added power, but no before and after results, but idle quiality was much improved as well as better throttle response.

It's a great mod IMHO.

Mine may be in the classifieds soon. I'm about to go with the 90/90 set up

Thanx for the kind words guys. To see a dyno graph of a cam only car before and after my TB click http://community.webshots.com/user/cammin and go to SCOTTS CAM ONLY RESULTS. That graph shows 11rwhp and 9 ft lbs across the board. I usually see around 8rwhp, but Scotts car liked the TB alot.


There also also pics of my TB work on the webshots page. I do not epoxy anymore as myself and several others have found its not worth it for power or drivability.

Lemme know if I can help you guys out!!!!

Ron's TB's are 2nd to none. Good work. Good gains(I picked up 7rwhp over the stock port on the old set up). Quick turn around. Honest. Fair price.
