Default Thunder Racing Throttle Body

Is their throttle body as good as Shaner or Janzter? I like the fact you can order from stock and don't have to deal with cores. Anyone have personal experience? Price seems good - $150 I think. I'm hoping to pick up close to 10 rwhp with a T-body on my set up (see sig).

Thanks in advance.

any good ported tb is worth it in my opinon! why dont you just ported the tb yourself with a dremel tool, its easy and a good learning experience.

unless your half retarded its pretty hard to mess a tb up as long as you do some research on here before starting. I know some people have a hard time using a dremel its such a complicated piece of machinery! Just make sure not to port where or past the blade seals and your pretty much ok

But there's more to the TBs, right? Shaner uses epoxy, mills down the blade, etc. right? Does the Thunder TB come with the same features?
