So you're saying just clean up the that port area and not worry with the epoxy mod? No measurable gain to the wheels if it's done? Just want to make sure. Thanks.

Correct, once you get past a proper port of the housing, throttle stop mod and halfshaft mod its about it on gains.

^True plus the high polishing effort doesn't show any gains either. Could've probably stopped at the 220 grit but then it wouldn't look as purty.

That looks good! I can't get myself to attempt the porting myself on my LS2 throttle body.

I appreciate your comments on this. As far as half shaft mods, what is done there? Just smoothing the shaft? I'm assuming that mod shows gains when done in conjuction with everything else. Thanks again.
