Default thunder racing ported tb

has anybody used this. i know i could attempt to port mine myself, but id rather not take a risk. if i send them the tb off my 99 will they send me another 98-99. i like the shorter throttle cam, even though i know its no performance mod. just nice to have.

im thinking of ordering one also. and you will have to get a 98-99 tb i dont think you can put the larger cam tb from a 2000-02 on a 98-99.

My throttle body was ported by thunder racing and I have never had any problems with it.

I ported mine last week real happy with the results. It takes 5 mins to take off and put back on and took me less then an hour of work and i noticed a good jump. I always try to do things myself for my car when i think i can so i can learn more about it. I say give it a shot yourself.

Yea you can, I just did it with my Shaner S2 TB. Just more time consuming.
