Yes, my location is under my avatar. It only takes me 3 minutes to do the throttle stop mod so the price doesnt change. The disassembly, throttle stop mod, half shaft mod, porting and polishing the housing, thinning and mirror polishing the blade, trimming the blade screws, reassembly and shipping is what I do for my price. Its like ordering a cheese burger without lettuce, your still getting a tasty cheese burger

Hey Bo,

Thanks again for lending me the TB while I was waiting for that "other TB guy" to come to his senses and finish my TB in only 2 months.

If I had known what I know now, you woulda got the order to begin with and I woulda saved a bunch of bones and 7 weeks of time.

Perry

Hey Bo. Just thought I'd shed some light on the mileage thing.

I drive the same distance every day. To work, to do the bank deposit for work, and then home. It's mostly city driving. We use my fiance's car for everything else. I went from getting 17.5 mpg to 18.3, so it's not quite a mpg increase, but hey, every little bit helps, right?

Bo, you gonna be at the Dyno Day on the 14th?

Thanx for the update on mileage. I figured there would be some gain somewere since your gettin more air at the same throttle position. Seems to me you would be giving it less pedal to go the same speed as before on the highway. Jet_black, If they only knew where I do my porting at
