Ebay new, but nowadays make a post you'll probably get a ton of responses for used ones.

I'm running a Potz from eBay. Noticed a nice increase in throttle response.

With Potz, do you have to send your old one in to him? Do you send it in before or after?

Either way, he will send the ported one first with a core deposit. You will need to send your stock one back within a month. Or you can send yours first without the core charge but your car is down.

Going against the grain here but I had one (came with car) and didn't like the touchyness and lack of progression at small throttle openings. Too on/off. I put a stock one back on and it drives much better now.

Ported TB might be ok with the later 2001+ progressive throttle pulley, but sucks with the early linear pulley IMO.

Didn't make any difference to MAP kPa at WOT either, which indicates the stock TB isn't a restriction on a stock motor and the ported one makes stuff all difference at WOT.

+1 for potz. I have one of his and its a nice piece. noticed a better throttle response with it and was well worth the money.

I believe that one needs to specify the year they are putting the TB on so as to take into account that very issue.

Check out what the guys have to offer at TPIS. Great shop in Minnesota that can do it all for LT1 & LS1 engines.
