Default just installed my newly ported tb!

Hey guys, I just wanted to share the experience with my newly ported throttle body from Bo White. This thing is amazing! Just look at the before and after pictures and you can see what a quality job he did on it. The edges are now razor thin! Plus he's a standup guy to deal with. After I had a 1 week shipping delay from fedex getting him my part, he went out of his way to work quickly to get it back to me before I needed to drive the car again. Anyone out there who's thinking of getting their tb ported but doesn't feel they will be able to do a great job themselves should seriously contact Bo. Just do a search for his username on this board and send him a message. You'll be glad you did.

A ported tb is a great mod. I noticed a big jump in throttle response. I had mine done locally though.

Same here - like the other guy said, a big jump in throttle response.

A friend installed LT's and TD's at the same time I installed the ported TB. I liked my results better than his. My throttle response improved, his declined.

i would, but its in the car now i might try and use photoshop to touch it up a bit. also, a lot of the brightness is due to how smooth and shiny he made the inside.
