Heres the options from my point of view when i was debating doing mine:
1. Try my own, with a chance of screwing it up, and having to buy another stock or p/p stock TB.

2. Buy a Stock TB that's already been ported and keep mine as a spare incase i ever want/need to go back to stock.

I decided to just pick up a stock TB that'd already been ported, seeing as I probably would have wanted another stock back up anyhow. Make sure you check out the LS1GTO forums as many GTO guys look to get rid of their tb's sometimes for less, seeing as it doesnt always click in everyones head that its the same tb!

Yes, definitely do it. Cheap way to pick up power, but not like some of the other free mods that are argued about how much effect they actually have, this one does work.
