Yeah, I think the real benefits of a ported TB won’t show till the heads/cam level. Just like the LS6 intake really shines once you’ve got heads/cam.

I've read of too many problems with it. I'd like to do back to back comparisons, switching one out with a friend and be able to run a wide band on it.
Then, and only then if it worked, would I be convinced.

pinging, too lean at WOT
buy auto tap -- should have one anyway though
MAF-T
fluctuating A/F at WOT from off-idle to shut down
hard to tune
trims fluctuating greatly to adjust.
you can't just stick a ported this or that on the car and expect it to produce + results. you have to look at the whole package. same thing we had to do back in the LT1 days. was a 58TB ever too much for your mods? yes, 1050 mono-blade? yes.
put my 58 on the car before i had the 396 done. it was too much for a hot-cammed/header/bolt on car. ran awful.
Be aware is all Im asking of you. It is a terrible thing to make changes and have nothing more than bought problems. make changes on data. Hell, borrow one and see what it does.
Hope this adds some perspective.
