He's well known for his LS1 ported TB's and highly regarded.
IMO, he does the best stock ported TB on the market.
I have heard his turnaround time can be slow at times, but both times I got throttle bodies from him he was pretty fast.
Just don't buy a ported TB from Scott Jantzer!
Bo White and Bret Bauer both do nice ported LS1 TB's, too.

I think he spends a lot of time on each individual throttle body, and I know he has a number of health problems that limit the amount of time he can work.
BTW, a number of the board sponsors sell ported stock TB's, as well. I know New Era Performance does it for $75 on an exchange basis.

the LS1tech sponsorship method doesnt apply well to individuals doing work on the side... the cost of sponsorship sometimes exceeds the profit made... lol.. sponsorship here is intended more for shops and businesses then it is people doing work on the side... understandable... but that thats just how it is.

In regards to the original question, I think Shaner's ported TBs are awesome and typical turnaround time is about a week. I can't wait till he begins production on his CNC machined billet ones though. They supposively flow better than the ported ones.

Well I might have been exaggerating a bit with the 10x, but he would definatly sell more. If you are not able to produce more, you adjust the price untill your supply meets the demand.
Thunder Racing also sells ported TB's.

A friend of mine has sent his tb to him around a month ago. He keeps getting promises of the tb shipping tomorrow. I think he has been told it would ship like 6 times now and still no tb. He sent off his tb so his car has been down around a month now. Not sure if this is the norm or not, but something to consider if you drive your car a lot.
