Another DIY ported TB Ported the stock throttle body this weekend. How do you guys think it turned out? I did the port work, took it for a test drive, then did the bump stop mod. Seems like the porting gave better throttle response but the bs mod gave the most increase at WOT. About what I expected. Pretty easy to do but a little tedious. Included a couple of before and after shots. It could use some more polishing but I'm was feeling lazy. The back side of the throttle shaft looks like 
also.

You did a great job bro. Also that is not the cutting bit you would want to use. At least that's not even close to what i use. I use a rounded sort of tree shaped carbide bit, then either sanding drums or a flapper wheel, (flapper works better and it last waaaaaaaay longer), then 120-600 grit sandpaper, then polishing compound with a cotton wheel, then emory paper then clean it up with seafoam.
Looks good. Now you just need to cut half of the throttle shaft off and then grind down the threaded side of the 2 screws that hold the plate to the shaft and you're set. Did you do the bumpstop mod while you were at it?
