Ported throttle body

Does anybody have a graph showing a power gain from a ported throttle body because someone brought up in another thread that porting your throttl body does not give you ANY increase in power. I was under the impression that it did and I felt a gain from mine so...anybody have one???

This is a graph of what my friend Eric's (BigE) 1998 Formula put down completely stock down to the paper air filter before, and then after with the only mod being a Bo White ported stock throttle body. The gain was 8 rwhp/7 rwtq.

i thought it was the other way around, your gonna have less throttle response? as in less down low and more top end.

I sent him a PM last month about porting my TB, he never read the message. I thought maybe he was out of the game, I really wanted him to do mine.

nope, def better throttle response down low. the lib gets in the way of the blade during its first 5 or 10 degrees of turning, porting it gets rid of that lip so the first 5 or 10 degrees of throttle have a lot better ait flow. it helps top end also but its noticible at the bottom

The only reason I haven't ordered a New Era Performance TB is because of the fact they don't do the blade shaft mod. I would assume this is a large part of it...

So who does the half blade mod? Why don't they do it? I want to get a ported TB and the two recommended places don't do that mod. Seems kinda weird.

Mark Shaner knows what he's doin, if he dont offer a half shaft mod then there's probably a reason

Has he ever told anyone why then? I'm very curious. I was actually going to order a TB from him. I like how he ships out his TB first then you send a core back unlike newera where you have to be without a car for a few days. I really want to get a ported TB as my next mod. I was going to cut that shaft in half myself, but if Mark doesn't do it then it might be bad so now I'm confused.
