I think the most recommend right now is cammin beaSSt (not sure on how exactly his handle is typed). I just bought a ported TB from TSP outright to avoid core charges, downtime, etc, but there are people doing a little more to them. Bo White stopped doing them, but I read he will have a group purchase of about ten pretty soon due to downtime at work, that might be worth a shot. I havn't seem him mentioned lately so I'm not sure what's up, but shaner did good work too.

Like was said above, if you don't mind a little down time then look to some of the board members that are also skilled at porting tbs. This is the cheapest way to go.

are the stock throttle bodys good or what, i mean people say port the stocker or get a new one. also what size if i get a new one should i get 80mm or 85mm, and i plan on getting the NGK TR55 plugs but where would be the best place to buy them???
Hey I have a Shaner S3 and can tell u it works. I did a before and after and picked up 6.5 peak HP and 8 in the curve. Do a search on his screen name (Shaner) or S2performance.net

I could not have down time so I went with a Katech CNC ported TB and it worked! I did the SLP pulley at the same time and the total gain was 12 RWHP and 14 RWTQ. I figure the gains were split between the two mods.

Its hard to beat a ported stock TB. There is a little more power in the aftermarket TBs with a LS6 intake but its minimal and for the price difference its not worth it to me unless you are replacing the intake too like a FAST or something simular. All of the top TB porters are about the same, except maybe price 
CamminBeaSSt does TB porting. He has mine right now. Just send him a PM. He's on the board fairly often and so far has been great to deal with. I've heard great things about him. If you want I'll let you know my results when I get it back.
