Bo are you starting again? I see from the posts that you have a great rep. What is the cost of having the TB ported?

I got a ported TB from Bo, and he installed mine for me as well. He does a great job porting them, and I felt a good improvement in throttle response.

I got the SLP ported TB and didnt gain any whp at all, 355whp with and without the TB..

I did feel butt dyno gains though.. maybe it was the heat .. It was 82 degrees in the shop.

Mine was ported out to 78mm with a new blade installed. He also port matched the ls6 intake.

I think I like it. Since it was done the same time the 5.3's were dropped on. I am unsure of the power increase though.
