Bo white, I picked up 16rwhp with mine.

You can also do it yourself- maybe not pick up all 16 but would be pretty close, and you would save some money, and no core charge.

New Era Performance is running a special. Send them your TB and they'll port it for $65. I may go for it myself.

Wow. Our bolt-on numbers are nearly identical, did you install the throttle body along with the cam?

Yep, but he's not a sponsor anymore, so it's unpostable.

picked up some big power on mine, but im boosted

EDIT: i used to have a fast 78mm that was polished and it looked amazing, a shame that it didnt match the 78mm intake i bought from them, almost like they gave me the 90mm intake with the 78mm TB

yea bo did mine...incredible work. i dont think youll pick up 16 hp like that other guy posted cause that's just bs...but i'd say 7-8 is more realistic. i definately felt it pull harder at wot...maybe because he did the bump stop mod at the same time?
