Default New Ported TB by Spartan Performance W/ 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!

It was $10 for shipping and $55 for the porting, so $65 after everything!

Thanks! I just got my SLP lid in last night and threw it on, that plus the ported TB = some nice power! I took my wife for a few runs on the onramp. We both noticed a good difference. Before these two mods all I had was a K&N filter and Magnaflow CB. I couldn't believe how restrictive the stock ram air lid was! Its like they purposefully made it restrictive to slow it down, LOL

Did Spartan put a new throttle plate in the TB or is that the stock plate? In other words, is the porting just on the TB inlet before the plate?
