You can gain a few HP from a ported TB, not a lot really. I got mine done from a sponsor:

I'd look for a TB that has the same or slighlty larger opening diameter of your intake manifold. Just my $.02

some gains are def there, not enough to feel.

i'd guess 5-7hp

some say better throttle response at low throttle...but that's subjective.

$180 seems pricey

there are guys doing it for 1/2 that...and the quality is 90% of that

I gained nothing from the TSP ported TB. I would spend the $ on something else or save for larger mods.
