Does anyone have a writeup for the home port job? I have searched, but can't find one. Thanks!

Send a PM to Gomer. He keeps some throttle bodies in stock that are ported by Bo White. I'd say you could PM Bo directly, but his new job takes up most of his time now and it might take some time to get a reply. It's $65 shipped plus your stock throttle body. Bo does a great job, and his ported throttle bodies show an average of a 8 rwhp gain.

I dont know of any how-to pages on porting one but if you do a search im sure there are some. Wont be a very big jump in power, just a little. Every little bit helps i guess.
