Thumbs up Bo White ported TB

Looks amazing. Super fast turnaround at a VERY reasonable price. Acceleration feels more smooth and crisp Bo's customer service is also second to none.

Sorry not being a sponsor yet (but am now) and a thread start like this but that will be changing this week. Keep things in PMs untill after the business side of sponsorship has taken place. I feel I have something to offer LS1TECH more than just advice and tech and will be giving back to the community like I should be. Thanx in advance, Bo White.

Bo does great work. I have seen his TB's in person and they are great!! I have also seen in person a before and after dyno on a totaly stock car. ( stock as in everything stock ) The car picked up 8 rwhp just with the tb swap. He is a really nice guy to deal with also. I am going to be selling my ported tb for one of his soon.

Hate that you are having gremlins in your stuff jrp, should be a beast of a street car when its all worked out. I sent him one of mine for R&D not too long ago and lookin forward to the outcome of his testing. I am like some of the guys on here and do stuff on the side and will become full time if the demand is high enough, either way the customer updates and promptness is very important and Tony and I touched on this in one of our conversations and will be the highest on my list of priorities. Looking forward to this and good luck to everyone on thier goals for this year

If you go to Bo's website you'll see the completely stock before and after dyno that jwasted is talking about. It's my car. I put down 293.5 rwhp bone stock (stock lid, bellows, MAF screen, crush bent exhaust, cats, muffler, etc.). I swapped the TB on the dyno for one of Bo's ported and polished pieces (still running coolant through the TB, no bypass) and went up to 301.2rwhp. Those runs were done about 20 minutes apart so there were no issues with atmospheric conditions. So ~8rwhp for ~65 bucks? It's a no-brainer to me. Also, the torque curve was up 5-7 lb-ft throughout the ENTIRE rev range. Bo's a good guy and good to work with. Highly recommened.

I know this is off the topic but what kind of increases would you get from the ported heads that BO does??

For a purely ported TB it looks good.
Then again I don't see the passages for the EGR filled and smoothed so in
that respect it's not as much a full blown ported TB like some of the other
sponsors offer.
