Default Ported tb's

For everyone that has or suggests a ported throttle body for a bolt on ls1 w/ ls6 manifold, who does the porting? Are they sent to a shop or a tony mamo type guy to be ported or are they done at home? Might be getting a 2001 ss m6 and trying to compile a bolt on list for it. Everything else i know where to get except the ported tb. Thanks

You can find them in the classifies section, do it at home, or just buy them from a sponsor off here I'm pretty sure. I think most people just port and polish there own or get someone else to do it for them

Ok thanks guys. Do you use a dremel type tool? If there is a write up that'd be great.
