QUOTE=lemons12;10944685]looks like a good deal.. you satisfied with the port job? (not asking for me, just inquiring minds..)[/QUOTE]



ya the work is great. I have no idea how they can leave a lot of meterial? After you remove the lip, the bottem of the TB is very thin. [

Unless you go to the 92mm set up, it isn't worth it.

for those asking how to get a hold of me, here i am

PM or my cell is 847-561-4361. $65 total including shipping is my standard charge. Porting, bump stop, half shaft mod, and I also media blast the exterior of the TB for that nice fresh blasted aluminum appearance. I also clean up the return spring, blade, and any gunk in the TB itself.

Add $65 to the above and I shave the exterior, powder coat it in the color(s) of your choice(TB and cam gear), polish the return spring and also the IAC motor(if you send yours to me with the TB).

I do have an exchange program for you guys that need it. $65 core charge refunded when i get your stocker back..

Yep true story I sent mine over there to Blanco to be ported and he had decided to stop selling Jantzer's stuff, but was treated very well by Blanco and now my tb is on its way over to SilverGhostto be ported. SilverGhost has also had great customer service, ill post pics of the tb when I get it back.

No surprise there...it was a few years back when he screwed over several members here but then decided to "straighten up". I got a TB and some used valve covers to sell on ebay instead of my refund that he owed me for over 2 yrs!!! I'm not surprised he's still having issues. I wonder if it's "hospital" problems this time too.

To display how shady I/Scott is, I've created a back door user name because I'm banned here on LS1tech. Now I'm posting under this alias continually giving Scott props, when I'm really Scott. Pay me no attention, I'm a low life.

Would it be worth it for me to port my TB with this set up:

Lid
Stock Screened MAF
Ls6 Intake
Stock manifolds/gutted cats
