TB Porting and Polishing. So I've been out of the loop for sometime now. Anyway, I'm wondering whose porting and polishing stock TBs nowadays. Anyone have one for sale? I'm looking for someone who either has or can do a ported, polished, epoxied, knife edged blade, bump stop treatment. You know, one with all the goodies. Let me know. Thanks

I just did mine yesterday. I just removed the ridge in the front and smoothed the rest out. The two grinding stones caked up and the sanding rolls woreout so I couldn't really port it and also couldn't do cut the shaft. I might finish the rest another time. However the car runs better, throttle response. If you have a dremel or a compressor and die grinder then do it yourself. It's easy just take your time and do not go to wild grinding.
Looks good. For the OP I would stay away from the Epoxy. It shows no gains and several members have had the epoxy break loose and get past the valve. From then on things start breaking. I'm about to port my TB myself. There is a good write up posted on here too.
