Hendricks Machining Ported Throttle Body
I finally got around to porting my throttle body this week. I think it turned out well. I thought about epoxying the holes, but I didn't find what I was looking for to do it with, so I left it be. Took the pic with my cell phone, so it's not that fancy.

That's really good. The best thing is that you did the half-shaft mod. It'll really increase part throttle airflow. Now the air wont have to jump the "speed bump" going past the throttle blade.
Nice job.
I wish I knew what Shaner uses to fill the holes. My S-3 came polished inside and the holes were filled, he also used brass tubes set into the epoxy. Shaner has the best stock modified tb's in my book.

Just use a hammer to knock it out. Hit it on the side where the TPS goes (TPS removed of course lol). A washer will come out so dont lose it, its a pain in the a@@ to put the washer back on to but its possible. After you get the shaft out its much easier to work with too.
