Default New Era Performance Ported TB Worth It?

You Mods are gonna kill me...... no joke search is down (website not responding)

Anyways anyone who has had their TB ported by New Era, was it a worth the money. Did you actually notice a difference in throttle response? Considering porting my TB within the next few weeks and just trying figure out who and where I should go through.

Unless New Era has cores in stock, you're gonna be down for a few days before the TB gets back to you, that is if this matters to you. They do seem to have a good price.

Going off experience, my Shaner S3 is a great piece. He took out about as much as possible in every area to aid flow. The ends of the piece are more then sharp enough to cut your hands if not careful.

With ported TB, you're definitely gonna have more air coming in. More air = more HP :-)
I'll let you know....I'll post some pics too

Had mine done there, Im local so I just dropped it off and picked it up later. Looks great and definetly felt a throttle response difference. I would recommend, and its a great price! Mike usually ships them back out the same day as well.
