Porting TB? Is there any gains to doing this on an 02 Z06? Is it as easy as LS1howto makes it out to be? I'm doing a cam swap with LG Pro headers and had the TB off. Just wondering if it would be worth the time and effort.

Thanks guys, I guess if I get restless and annoyed enough buy the shape of the walls I will have at it. Not sure at this time, though.
I'll have to do some research and see if it has any response time aid or if it is just a wasted mod like the TB Bypass. I did that, though. Hmm

I still think I'll just wait and get one already ported.

I could sense a minor difference in throttle response right after I did it....

Even if you get 5hp it's not worth the bother unless you are going for a ***** out NA combo. I've never understood wasting time with 5-15 hp mods. You'll never notice that little power difference. Really anything under 30 is a waste IMO.
I like to add power in 100 hp increments.

Also, not everyone has the resources / funds to add power in 100 HP increments.
