Throttle Body Upgrade, Options? I was thinking about upgrading my throttle body. I just don't know what the best course of action is. Should I buy a throttle body from SLP or should I go with a CNC'd stock one? Which option would yield the greatest results? Also, is there anyone who can port and polish them for a fair price?
If you're talking about a TB for a stock intake, I would have someone port your factory one. I wouldn't waste the money on an aftermarket TB that will make the same power as a ported stock one.

I forgot to mention that I do have the ls6 intake installed with the EGR delete! I'm going to be getting the car tuned as well. Does anyone port factory throttle bodies?

Do a search for shane or shaner, does a hell of a job I think its called the S2 throttle body he's the only one I know that ports tb's that I know of then there is Janzter, and pretty sure some sponsor on here ports tb's.

i have only found one place that CNC ports them. i doubt in terms of horsepower it would be worth it. however, it is nice to know there is more of an exact science going into it than someone with a dremel.

Is there any noticeable performance difference or gain in horsepower? Also what does it cost to have a throttle body ported for those who have had it done?
This is what was in the PM.
I got mine through mikenorrismotorsports.com
I don't know why I forgot Mike was a sponsor on here. I don't know if VMax has a website or not. I thought they did but I can't find it.
