I left some lip on my TB like 1/32". It does look like its just polished but yeah, I ported as much I can w/o harming the area where the blade sits. The lip you're looking at is actually the shine around the 1/32" lip that I left.

Nice work on the blade and the shaft. Ill see if I can find a picture of one of my ports or cyphur_traq's ports..
I took alot out of mine... I used to get bored and pull it off and port on it for an hour or so with some small rolls.....

I wet sanded mine with 600grit and left it at that. I highly doubt that .05cfm gain by polishing is worhtwhile......
but it looks cool...
I didnt' really care though, I had the stock coupler and a maf in place on a car with a 408 and a speed density tune...... hell it made 470 w/o so much as a valvejob on the heads.....

There are more areas to improve upon. Area A needs to be epoxied and Area B needs to be filed (not much) for more blade opening. There are good instructions somewhere on this sight.

Didn't your 408 also have stock 241 heads. Thats a lot of power with just stock heads. Awsome!
Hell who needs heads!

Suprisingly, that car made more power than some cars that had larger cam/heads/headers/intake... I planned on a set of heads for the car and wanted to push 520ish on that *small* 244/248 cam with the 1 3/4 headers and ls6 intake... shouldnt have been too hard, but i sold it.
