port your own TB? How many people have ported their own throttle body? I'm thinking my dad can handle the job. He ported and polished the heads on my old monte and recently ported and polished some heads for a BBC. Am I totally off in thinking he can handle this job? I know they are completely different parts (TB and heads) but same concept right? Shoot me back some info if I'm wrong.

coolness. That thing looks nice. I think I just found a link on how-to. Might have to be my BIG winter project, lol. 
Don't laugh, I'm buying a house and planning a wedding so don't have much for mod money right now.

It is the same concept, just don't port the small area where the blade rests against the housing when the throttle is shut. If you do then too much air will get around the blade while it's shut and your IAC will be fully shut to try and compensate but it won't be enough and the car will idle high (I made this mistake once).
