Default Where can I get a decent priced ported/polished TB??
I remember a guy used to sell some really nice powdercoated ported/epoxied TB's. Is he still around?
Is any place still expoxying/porting the stock TB's for a decent price?
thanks!

oh thanks, it's not like i havn't been on this site since it's inception! wait...i have! lol, oh yall and the search stuff, when will it end! Anyways, most search stuff is for past for sale items, or non epoxied TB's. Thunder Racing is nice but they don't epoxy. Maybe it's been decided that expoxy doesn't matter anymore?
I guess what I should have said is STOCK TBs, not the expensive nice ones
Man I wish I would have ordered one of those powdercoated ones when i had the chance!

So far the only sponsor I saw listed was Thunder and of course the DIY one.

You can get them all over the place...

Shaner's look good, but I don't have any experience...I'm going straight from stock to a FAST 90 with NW 90 TB
