New BBK or ported throttle body

Should I get a new BBK throttle body or just have my stock TB ported out?

From what I've read the gains from a stock throttle body are enough to pass on an aftermarket one.

i have the BBK and i wish i would have saved the 360 bucks and ported the stocker instead...

so just port the stock one and spend the extra cash elsewhere

I had the BBK.... Did not care if it at all... total wast of money

The spacer requires u to trim about 3/4 inche off your smooth below and ends up being a hasle... as well it tapers back down from 80mm's to 75mm's anyways so can see how more are could get in it?

sold it to a guy for a $100 + his stocker

took the $100 and shipped it off to bo white (well known on here for his porting) and he did a wonderfull job porting it
