Default Jut put on my ported thorttle body!

Hey all, I just put my new ported throttle body on that came in the mail today! I absolutely love it! I can definitely feel the difference over the stock TB! I got it from Tim @ Performance Throttle Bodies. It looked amazing, he did an excellent job on it. I can feel alot more mid range on the car now and its definitely alot louder than before now with all that air goin in now. I was kinda surprised how well it did actually, I didnt really know how much of a difference to expect, but Im very pleased with the results. Im glad I did it. Now Ive gotta think of what to mod next..........

Cool man! I'm thinking that might be something I should consider.

Did you have to send your stock one in first, or did they just send you a brand new one?

Thanks guys. You should definitely consider it as your next one. Rk2000Z/28, I asked him about that too because my car is my DD and I was gonna have to make arrangements, but he said just to send him mine when I get them switched out. It works out great and you will be very pleased you did it.

Dont think Tim will mind since hes probably busy porting and hadnt had a chance to get on here....
The epoxy is for the people that want max effort performance. A ported LSx TB will help even a stock car much less a modded one. Average gains on a properly ported TB(which Tim does) 6-7 HP @ the wheels. Ive personally seen anywere upwards of 12rwhp on modded cars and heard up to 14-16(which these cars probably needed a 90/90 setup for best setup). Ported TBs work....even the 90mm bigboys that come on the LS2/LS7s.
