He does TB porting. I picked one of his ported TBs and have been quite pleased with it. Just do a search on him.

From what i remember he doesn't port TB's anymore. Herd he was the best so why not quit when your on top? but he is referring people to another guy who does a pretty good job too.

Cant really, not enough material. Plus the LS6 holds its own pretty well, the next best thing would be the the Fast 90/90 set up, but wont see good results unless you've done H/C setup or motor swap. Made for high hp/tq cars

Congrats, Those seem like about right for a ported tb. I have seen alot of cars pick up at least .1 and usually always pick up at least 1mph. On my cam only car i went from 11.71 to 11.53 with just swapping to one of my ported tb's back to back runs. That was with a 99 ms3 cam only car with the stock ls1 intake as well, with the ls6 i picked up another .25 as well. 60ft times were pretty much the same as well. Tim

Again, great gains man. Thanx for the props from everyone, Ive been quit for almost 2 months and it seems like 6 lol. Ive got another little one on the way and its pretty much time for me to settle down and spend more time with the family...as Tim can attest to that. A properly ported TB will give a about 7rwhp or better(depending on mods) gain so its one of the best bang for the buck mods you can do.

Default conditions

the runs where made at the same track. the tire pressures where the same. the temp was in the mid 40s both time but not sure of the humidity the first time the second time was 65%.

What was the track temp diff, or better yet the DA level?

Good gain btw.
