Cammin Beasst doesnt fill his anymore either, I seen, because he doesnt see the gain that is worth it either and he has dropped his price accordingly that is close to mine. jrp's testing will probably verify this because he has a filled one he did a while back.

Hey, Bo knows tbs. My brother and I both know Bo and he is a cool dude. If you are looking for a tb, for the price it is hard to beat his. Also when it comes to turn around, Bo set me up in less than a week. Go Bo!

Bo, on the bump stop mod that you say you perform with the porting, is it done to where the blade WILL NOT go past 90 degrees. I've read this will trip the computer up? Also do we need to send our own tb's in to you, and do we get our own tb's back?

Actualy if anything mine are just under 90 for tolerance reasons from TB to TB. Since my blades are mirrored you can take it and open up all the way and look across the back of the TB and see the reflection is just slightly off of being perfectly perpendicular. When ever some one sends in a TB to be done they will recieve the same one back, I prefer to do that way since most have cam or H/C and have modded thier TB for idle and that way when they get it back its still the same TB they sent out only better

That sounds pretty sweet, if you don't mind, can you PM me the procedure on how to get me ported; contact stuff, cost and how to pay?

Also, I've done some slight porting on my tb and slight bump stop modifying, but nothing to serious, just fooling around a bit. You might not even be able to tell that I've done anything. So will this matter?

Will do. The comparison is more for the difference between a filled TB and nonfilled- not someone against someone else, Cammin doesnt fill his anymore unless you request it probably because he feels the same way about it as I do.

Some use epoxy or Bondo to fill the big slot in the top of the TB opening and then drill it for function.

I have seen 12hp but gomer was also tweakin on the car as well. Gomer done a cam swap(224 XE-R) for a guy from Tallahassee and was also gettin a TB from me too, it was one of the last pulls done that day. Another guy locally seen 10 I believe on his A4 H/C car that has a 12 bolt in it. I do not advertise these numbers because they are not normal gains, around 8 is.

Default Great Looking TB!

Hey this, Bo White TB looks fabulous!! I've just Polished a few TB's around my neck of the woods, and kids buy the hell out of them, so I'm sure everyone would love Mr. White's work. As a long time gearhead.....I just have a question or 2. I drive a 03 GMC Sierra w/ the 5.3 LS engine. So naturally, the Electronic Throttle Acuated Control- Stock- Throttle Body, is a great improvement over the linkage driven TB. I also have purchased, installed, driven a BBK 90mm TB and also a Carter Deamon TB, only to remove them and re-installed my GM OEM TB! I have found that, the GM Throttle Body is just as great and offers the same performance benefits the other Big Name Brands proclamed. The BBK sounded cooler...like a little "charger".....but I noticed no performance gains VS. the GM Stock TB. But, I am intrested in a Bo White TB....and just curious to you guys that have one....what kind of gains are you experiancing? I'm not really intrested in RWHP gains....more intrested in Throttle Response, Fuel Atomization and especially what gains in Low End-Pull Out Torque! So I would welcome your experiances. Thanx.
By the way...Bo White....email me or PM me....I'm intrested and I have about 4 GM Stock "new in wrapper/box" Throttle bodies....that I could donate to your cause.
