gain will be around .05 or 5rwhp on average...maybe a full tenth if you go extreme...

Ported TB & a good tune maybe, but the most we see is a few RWHP. The advantage is improved throttle response.

I didn't see anything at the track. Throttle response greatly improved.

That's one of those "sum of the parts" mods. As stated, throttle response will improve, but by the time you start adding more serious speed parts you'll likely be ready for a FAST intake.

I am doing things backwards here. I did a few bolt ons, then a cam, then gears. 4.10s made it feel like a rocket after driving with 3.42s and a cam for so long. I wonder how much a ported TB would do for me?

I've got LTs, custom 4" ORY, hooker CB, LS6 intake, lid, vhp tuner, slp ramair, 4.10s, and a hotcam.
