MTI sells a nice one. I think Lingenfelter will port stock ones.

Go with Mark Shaner (www.not-a-sponsor.net). He's done over 2000 LS1 type throttle bodies. After talking with him on the phone for about 1.5 hours, I wouldn't go with anyone else. He knows his stuff and is a very nice guy.

Check out his new billet TB as well, looks to be unbeatable for the price.

JANTZER!! Are you freaking kidding? There have only been about a 1,000,000 posts on here about what a ripoff he has been in the past year. Yeah, he does great work, but you may not see that work for 6-8 months if ever.

Go with MTI, or Shaner.

I would cefinitely look for a used Shanner S3 or Jantzer. USED is the key word... Or try and find a shop that ports stock TB's...

Thunder Racing has the best ported throttle bodies. They cnc port the throttle body, the throttle blade shaft is milled on both sides, the throttle blade is knife-edge finished, and wide-open-throttle stop is adjusted for max airflow. I don't know of any other porter that does this.
