Default Idea for porting throttle body

Sorry for the crude photoshopping. I was thinking what if you cut spiral grooves into the inlet of the tb. would this have any positive effect? Please don't rip me too hard if it's a stupid idea.

Dont knock it until you try it is what i say. Take it somewhere and have it done. I doubt it would do to much. but even 1 or 2hp would be something interesting and be worth talking about.

The only thing i'm think is, ls1's are direct port injection, so it wont be mixing the fuel with the air, but what about wet nitrous sys?

Wet N2O systems mix the nitrous and fuel in the nozzle...extra trickery really isn't necessary. If you want to test your theory, buy a Tornado.

Hey Jack, I would've called you but my phone is busted. I bolted the motor together last night. Every speck of it is polished, just did the Weiand intake. It looks soooo F#cking PIMP!!!! If you can check it out at your next convenience. It's worth the trip. I can't drive it because Thunder Racing sent me the wrong spark plug wires for the coil relocation so it's down for the count right now.

ummm.....I don't see that helping you any, in fact, I would see that causing more turbulence, = bad.
