Default Ported Throttle Body???

Is this mod worth it? My mods are MS4 cam, 3200 stall, Pacesetter LT headers, cat-less y-pipe, Mac catback, LS6 intake, Whisper lid, 85mm MAF and 160 degree SLP thermostat. Who performs this modification and how much does it cost? Thank you,

With your mods you should pick up 10 rwhp easily. Many sponsors will do this for you for about $100 or you can do it yourself.

I didn't want to take the chance of doing it myself so I bought mine from Shaner. He does great work (blends the lip, bump stop mod, epoxy the intake, trim the blade bracket...) and the price is very affordable.
