got mine back a couple weeks ago, although honestly im no expert on TBs the work looks good, communication was great, turn-around time was great. after installing the computer noticed immediatly upon start-up, it took a little while to relearn idle, just a quick trip or two. thanks again.

Damian not only ported my TB, but did all of the work on my car. Nearly total build from ground up, couldnt be happier.
Spartan Performance is great, and you will not find a more honest or more reliable shop anywhere.
PS Nothing like setting off car alarms everyday I drive my baby!!!!!

What are the average gains on doing a Ported TB setup on this with a dyno? Also, i was wondering... can you actually improve MPG doing this? Oh and one other.... I forgot the size of a stock TB, i was wondering... about what size does it go to?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I dont have any dyno #'s handy but I felt a difference on both cars after using Josh's ported TB service. Especially the truck. Josh walked me through the process while I waited on porting one for the truck, and man those things suck (not literally) from the factory. It was opened up BIG time once he was done.
ttt for you josh
