Default home ported TB?

Does anyone know of a writeup to port your throttle body? I've searched, but I'm not finding one. Thanks!

Put them on like they came off and no probs. The IAC may have to adjust to the different air flow if you fill in/smooth out/redrill the opening for the IAC. Usually it takes no more than driving a while, and maybe doing the idle relearn procedure. If it idle still doesn't seem right, you may have to open up the air inlet to the IAC a little. I -think- I ended up with about a 3/8" opening to the IAC when all was said and done. Don't have my notes in front of me right now.
