Unless you increased the size of the throttle body blades with that "porting" you did, you will gain exactly zero HP.

Other than that, good job. Hopefully that motor doesn't take a **** from all the grime everywhere.

Looking good. Joe is right about the throttle body porting. Spend the few bucks and get an aftermarket throttle body if you want a few more ponies

PICS! ----------->
