Default " Bo White " Ported Throttle Body

I just got back my Bo White ported TB and I put it on. The car sounds a bit louder and more responsive . When I leave it in drive or reverse with out pushing the pedal the car moves faster than it did before. I have to pay attention in a parking lot now when backing up now that it's faster

Sorry no pics, couldnt wait any longer. I do have pics before it being ported though.........

Good, I havent ever had that problem and didnt want to start now Do you have the TB bypass? The swap goes a lot faster when ya got that done. Get ya a 10mm socket, extention, ratchet, flat head screwdriver, T-20 driver, and long handle pliers if ya still have the coolant lines and go at it.

Is a ported TB from Speed Inc. equivalent to his work? I found one that is just ported but not polished. Does the polishing actually provide more power?

Polishing anything adds as much power as adding a racing decal to your car.Polishing adds bling and looks the power is from the porting.

All of the better TBs are equal to each other in power increase, the only difference between em is the name and price

I've been with out mine for about a week, I should see it tomarrow. But that is my stock one, I have a morgan motor sports TB on now, just wanted to see the differance & also wanted my tnt power ring matched to it. The MMS TB, is fine its just bigger inside than the ring was. It also has the epoxy mod. I don't know if that helps or not. I hope to see some good dyno improvements next time out, with all I have done recently.

I got mine back today. Put it on tonight & as I thought It did'nt want to idle. When I put the cam in, the car did'nt want to idle. So I drilled the hole in the blade to 5/16'' like TR said to do, it worked pretty good on my other TB. I seen that the hole in the new TB blade was pretty small, but I put it on any ways & I could'nt get it to idle. So I drilled it a little bigger, It idles better now. But I think it needs to be bigger than it is.
The work Bo did is A-1, he did my power ring also, Looks real good.
Thanks man!
It's hard to tell any differance I did other mods also at the same time.
I also had to grind the throttle linkage to clear the mezeire water pump.
Sorry to have to hack on your master peice!! LOL.

Default Interested in L99 TB

Dear Bo,

Do you still produce L99 TB? I am very interested in the quality of your products after reading couple of reviews.

Thanks,

Thanks,
I'm happy to say that Bo ported both TB's on my current cars But he was last on this site 6 months ago. You can try sending him a private message, but don't expect a quick reply.

Time to shut down this blast from the past.
