Default ported throttle body

i ported my own throttle body today which included knife edging the blade, removing or cutting out part of the center hump that holds the blade on and lots of porting. With removing from car and all mentioned above took about 2.5 hours with a dremel and paper rolls. ( Its all i had ). All and all very happy. Seems to rev quicker. Didn't get to drive though cause of michigan weather. Thanks to this site it made it real easy.

p.s. search does work!

Ahh too bad for no pics. Oh well. I have done a few so far and it's a great feeling to do your own work. Plus I find it kind of relaxing

I P&P'ed my own also. It took me a little longer that 2.5 hours. I'm too much of a perfectionist, and kept pulling it off to do a little more, and clean it up some more. I still have to do the bump stop mod. Yeah, workin on your own car really give you that sense of pride. I plan on putting on my own headers...
