if i run my finger towards the blade there is a noticable uphill slope about a 1/4 inch from the throttle blade.so if i run my finger from the back to the front should be smooth?there is a hump for sure

red99ta,think i sent you a pm if you were intrested in porting my throttle body.it's hard to tell if it was ported,but thats what i was looking for was a opinion from someone that could tell me if it was ported or not.appreciate your help
here is an illistration of a ported TB.
the yellow parts are what is removed from in front of the blade all the way around the bore of the TB.
if that isn't there its been ported to some degree.
some porters smooth out the aproach to that "lip"...but a basic port job (took me 15mins on a lathe) just removes that lip.

Those pics of the ported one look good and shiney but that dosent mean his hasnt been done the outer lip is thinner also. It looks nice but for the money if his been ported to some degree I dont think its worth it to get it ported.
I would use that money for a lid or an SSRA kit and if he has them allready save up for an intake or send it off to tpis and then get a 90 mm tb. Porting your TB is somthing you should do at home not pay to have it done, any one can port out a TB with a drimmel tool.
