ported mine just like the pics and also did the bumpstop mod. be careful not to over-port or u will have idle issues and be careful to not get anything near the IAC valve. no tune should be needed if ported correctly

It's so you can actually open your stock TB all the way up.

Do it... you wont be dissappointed, cheap, easy mod and takes no time to do it. I ported my TB and did the bump stop mod and I could actually feel a seat of the pants difference. I belive there is even some old threads of the Bo White TBs search for that I believe there were dyno graphs in his threads.

ive got a ported and polished stocker and ive noticed a much improved throttle response with no issues with idleing or anything. Cant say if i noticed a power diffrence since i did a few other mods at the same time.

it has been proven to give hp gains, and you can feel the throttle response increase.. if you cant, you need to "feel" your car more..
