Default Ported My TB...

I ported my tb today and forgot to take pics. I did the TB, and the bump stop mod. After getting it back on I took it down the street and honestly I'm impressed. Alot of people say they can feel the difference and some say you can't. I felt a little difference. It's a bit more responsive. I like free mods...

Yeah, better throttle response will be your best noticeable attribute about a ported throttle body.

Thanks guys...yeah i did the bypass, bump stop and the the front of the shaft. I didn't mess with the blade that much tho. I didn't want to risk it. And I DIDN'T touch the back of the TB. I'm liking it tho. It was cheap and easy, and it goes great with the ls6 intake.

That was one of the best mods for the buck. 30 bucks worth of dremel bits for a niiiice difference and throttle response. Low end power is definately boosted too!

the bump stop mod is where you grind down the piece that prevents the throttle body from opening to a full 90 degrees. It only opens 82 degrees or so from the factory.

how long did it take you to do each mod? since it's my daily driver i'd like to know if a good solid weekend would be enough to do them and get it back up and running in time for monday. my experience with most mods is that they will take twice as long as you first expect them to.
