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.
