Default Ported intake tb and exhaust mani

What do you guys think the gains would be if i got my intake manifold throttle body and exhaust manifolds ported? its funny because im trying to get the most power out of this thing without haveing to mess with the tranny

also any suggestions on places to have it done would be great

I picked up around 2/10ths in quarter mile and around 2 mph with just intake manifold ported. Had tbody ported too, but caused some codes that I could not tune out with the Diablo Tuner. Could more than likely be tuned out with HP Tuners.

He had the intake manifold ported before he had the turbo.

Yes, that was before the turbo. With drag radials I was able to run a 13.0 flat naturally aspirated with the few bolt on mods I had.

Just a shift kit in the tranny. Just a slight adjustment to the tune with the Diablo handheld.

What are you looking for time wise after the turbo?

mid/low 11's with drag radials. Jay ran 12.1 1/4 mile with his GXP and turbo kit on street tires with no traction through the 1/8th mile at around 120 mph, so I should be able to pull mid/low 11's easy!

I had the same problem- and I used HP Tuners to take it out.

What did you specifically do in HP Tuners that took out issues with ported tbody?

I think it has to do with the Throttle Position?
