Default P/P throttle body install

Just did my own porting and polishing on my throttle body and installed it on thanksgiving... I would say this was probably one of my best mods. I noticed a good difference in throttle response and it a lot better too (being polished) very happy with results and because it was FREE!!! I highly recommend this mod to others

I changed my O2 sensors, and it was an actual difference. I think that this must be in your head.

I think youre going to get an easy 10% decrease in MPG, most members report this. Including myself. Oh well, I didnt buy the car for the MPG specifically.

No problem if you don't have a dremel. A 1" drum sander for a drill works great for cutting the ridge down. A couple assorted grits and you're good to go.
I use it first before switching over to the dremel.
