Default ported throttle body
Does anyone know who can port and polish a stock T/B?

Check with Bo White. I pretty sure he's a sponser again. He did a tb for me and it came out real good. Shoot him a pm.

Got mine done by Bo White here it is when I got it all bead blasted and ready to paint.

Here is it after I painted it, polished the spring, and removed the coolant lines.

Smokin87TA does them as well (he did mine) and did a pretty good job of it. Tim is a pretty good guy to deal with, quick turn around. There is a huge thread on here about him.

Go with bo white. Tim does great throttle bodies also...he did mine. There were some problems with customer service involving Tim at the beginning of this month due to his internet being down...not sure if it's back up though.

Ide recommend Bo because whenever you call or PM he always gets right back to you and not many people will do that.

I've been calling Smokin87ta aka Tim, but he hasn't returned my phone calls nor emails. So that's why I posted this.

I just did mine wasn't hard at all. Used a die grinder with a carbide and a small flap wheel. So it was free even if it didn't help me any.

call me stupid, but how the **** do you use one of these to port it?



I could see myself trying and totally unevenly butchering the inner walls of the TB...
