Question New Era Ported Throttle Body ?'s

I plan on getting my TB ported by new era and i was wondering how long my car would be down? How long is the usual turn around time? I also was wondering if they did the bump stop mod?

Thanks

I think that it should only take a shop a few hours to do one. Now as far as shipping who knows.

I'm in FL, they told me it'd be about 5 days. Call them and ask. If it does'nt work, find a shop that exchanges cores...I ended up getting one from thunder racing.

Correct, ported only.

The TB looked good, I think they put some time into the blade, it was quite a bit narrower than the stock piece. Overall I was pleased with it.

I think they're all pretty much the same, can't really go wrong with any of them. I went with them because I've gotten parts from them before and it does'nt hurt that they're a sponsor.

thanks for your input. i ordered a thermostat from them a while back for my old car. good business and i like their online discount policy. i guess i could always polish it up myself. the porting's the hard part, after all.
