Yeah it's worth it if you can figure out how to make the opening in your intake manifold 80mm! Otherwise, I'd stay with the ported factory one.

Port a facotry TB and save the money. I recall some issues with the TB plate hanging up on the BBK's and not opening smoothly awhile ago. They may have resolved it but I don't know.

Definitely stick with the a ported stock TB. Better yet, have Bauer (a sponsor ---->>>) do it. His prices are very fair and he does top notch work.
