P&P TB: noticeable gain?
I have all the boltons except a P&P TB and intake manifold. I plan to get her tuned this summer and wanted to get my TB ported and polished but can't find a cheap or easy way to do it. My dad says he's not a pro with that and we'd have to buy tools. My friends dad could do it, but wasn't interested when i offered him $50. I know that new era performance does it for $75, but i'm really strapped for cash. is it worth doing???

A definate better throttle response. You tend so see more of a gain in cammed cars.Not so much with bolton cars.
You might was well just wait if you plan on doing a cam down the road. Thats my opinion, just cause you'll see the most benefit.
If you arn't planning on putting a cam or any other internal work, its up to you. You'll see a gain, somewhat.

definitely worth doing with my tb...i have it 3/4 shafted so there is half of the bottom shaft holding the butterfly...plus bo white ported and polished it...i can almost guarantee with my cam only it added 10rwhp...

that was my first mod and I was shocked with the gain I got. More than the lid and ssra combined. Mostly better throttle response and stated, more low-mid range grunt. If done right you'll gain
I just used a die grinder with a cutting bit I got from eastwood. Them used sanding discs I also got from eastwood, and finished the sanding by hand. Them polished her up with compound. Just don't touch where the blade closes

I definitely chalk it up as the every little bit counts mod. The kind of mod that may push you .05 in et or .5 mph. Definitely a must if you are building up towards a cam.
