I also received mine in the mail yesterday, I was going to take pics to post up and share but got too anxious and installed it before i did . I'm glad you posted some.

I honestly didn't expect much from the TB as I just put headers on and didn't feel much if any SOTP(seat of the pants) difference since it screwed with my SD tune. when i put the TB on and pulled out of the garage i immediately felt the difference, both throttle response and acceleration seem much crisper.

I definitely recommend this to anyone, for the price of a tank of gas anyone can afford it

Getting my headers on Monday and as soon as I start to install them my TB is going to you. It's hard to say no to almost 200 posts of TB praise.

Default Porting by spartan performance with pics!

Hey guys, I just got my throttle body back from Spartan Performance, I shipped it last Friday and got it this Friday. I had a great experience and the porting was done fast and with great workmanship. I would suggest Spartan Performance to anyone who is thinking about getting their throttle body ported. Its bigger and smoother inside, as well as the butterfly plate inside now opening up all the way! The first two pics are before porting, and the last two are after porting. The last pic is of it finally installed on my car, I did the throttle body coolant by pass as well while I was there. Enjoy!

P.S. I also did the throttle body coolant bypass suggested by Josh, I was nervous at first but bought the parts for $5 and jumped in and it was cake, took 5min! All I did was went to Kragen and bought 2ft of 5/16" coolant tubing, two worm clamps, and a little thing of zip ties. I just used one zip tie to keep the hose away from the pulley system. The last three pics are of my install and where I ran the tubing.
