Is the $44 without core charge or does it have a core charge? I think the seller reduced it to $40 but the one that was around your $44 is the same person I got mine from but I opted for the brand new one instead of used.

Sorry I'm a total noob when it come do anything besides bold ons so my question will probably be stupid, but if I get my Stock TB ported and then I switch to the LS6 intake manifold later will it will be compatible? Or will I have to get a new TB for the LS6 intake and have that one ported too?

It says you need an Auto Tap or equivalent scan tool to measure the angel of the blade. Will this one do...

????

Or is there one that would be better overall.

Damn. There's no way I'd buy a $150 scanning tool to verifiy my tb port/bumpstop is spot-on. You could send out for 3 throttle body port jobs for that kind of dough.

Haha, I know. But I figure that eventually I will need one anyways so why not get it now to help with this job
I want to get a good scanning tool tho so I don't have to buy another one later.

I never did get an answer at what power gains you see from porting it.

porting wont do much in the power gain section maybe 1-2 depending on setup, what you should get from it is better throttle response

Are there still vendors who Port Throttle Bodies here? or is it just eBay now?

I remember there was a Ghost and Spartan guy who did them...

Don't you just love when guys are in business to provide a service and they can't even find the time to return calls to potential buyers? I'm having a hell of a time in getting people to come and look at building a new garage for me. You would think that the economy is just booming in construction right now. I've had guys completely ignore my calls, guys that have said they would meet me at my house at a certain and not show and guys show up then never get back to me with a price. They must all be independently wealthy.
