Default Throttle Body Porting - A nice writeup

OK - This gotta be the best TB porting writeup I have seen so far.
Very detailed, and has a lot more step-by-step pics than the writeup posted on ls1camaro.net by Xraymnoyes

Check this out guys ! It really isn't so hard.

Yea, They use epoxy. You can use anything you want as long as it sticks to a metal, and can be polished...
