just the intake will be ported, do you have to get a larger blade when you port the throttle body to, ive heard of people porting them but dont exactly know what all is envolved, is there a curtain size to mic it to

just seems like if you only port the opening and not all the way thruogh past the blade it will still take in the same amount of air, but thats just me guessin
