One big HELL YES for the Shaner S3! The finish inside is polished like glass. Beautiful work.

CamminBeast's TBs look very nice from the pics I've seen.

I think its worth the money for a ported TB, if you dont have the time or tools to do it yourself. Trottle response feels a little more improved aswell.

Cyphur used to port TBs aswell, which looked badass too...

i talked to him about a week ago. he was in the middle of the flu and told me that he should have some in two weeks, this coming wensday.

I am finishing up on orders that I have already taken and still have some that are in route to me. I have a sticky here for the purpose of giving everyone a heads up that Im going to slow down alot of my porting. All orders that are in route, and already here, will be done and sent back in a timely manner. I thankeveryone that contributed to me and their opinion of me being one of the best is not taken lightly by me. I try and thats all I can do just like everyone else that does this line of work.

From one "pro" to another, I still look highly on Cammin Beasst work and I recommend him to anyone that cannot have me do it in my spare time.

Why spend more money when you can get the same - or better - performance for less? Just because it has MTI on it doesn't mean it's the best (not saying MTI is junk, but for a TB, money would be spent elsewhere). At least you're happy with spending $50 on a silicone tube that does nothing.

75 shipped for 8 to 10 rwhp with a ported TB...... An underdrive pulley will yield 6 to 8 rwhp and you would have almost 300 bucks in that after belts and shipping......... Seems like a smart move to me?!?!?!
that was on the first page along with another person who said he gained 13rwhp from his jantzer tb...

Reducing intake restriction such as a ported stock t/b is a great mod and as you do other mods the more it keeps giving and giving.

I have seen the ported t/b's people "do themselves". They all look like ****. Unless youve done 300+ i would never let you touch my t/b. Idleing characteristics, retaining proper velocity, how much material can be removed before going throught the walls, etc. This comes with experience.

And for all thoses people with the mirror finish, ill give it to you that looks great on the internet but the power comes from proper porting not the mirror like finish.

Didn't dyno until after the true dual install and it turned out great. My theory was to build a complete setup so the before-and-after-cam numbers can be normalized, at least that's what I decided. Usually there is no patience to test a TB change, that's why there aren't any before/after dyno graphs.

I got my TB from Katech, very pleased with the CNC porting. They do the core exchange so no down time on the car. I figured they know a thing or two about our engines.
