I'm looking in to getting this done. I've checked out our members web site(Performance Throttle Bodies) and sent him an email.
Any gains to be had from this? Car is stock save for an SLP lid

With a stock car i think you will gain about 5 hp

Just the SLP lid so far and that was there when I bought it. I'm waiting on the title and thought I start w/ the TB

A ported TB is a good first mod. Then i would look at getting a catback exhaust.

Catback, headers, tune...the list is long and the money is short.
Gotta start somewhere

what are the stats on the car?...if it doesnt have a ls6 manifold id also get one of those, you will get more out of your ported TB if you do

i also see your from north florida...start participating in the florida forum

It's a stock 02 SS. I thought the LS6 was from the factory on the 02'?

yes the ls6 is standard on 01+. The ported TB is a great place to start modding. Look up bo white for the porting.

they are...i just couldnt tell your car was an 02....so youll see more gains with a ported TB....compared to if you had a ls1 intake

i see you live up here around me...i suggest you do it yourself, i port TB's all the time, so if you need help pm me....

and aaron whats that supposed to mean?

definitely good place to start, LS1's like breathing better

gives you better throttle response too i like mine.

Yea I'm going to get it done. I don't think I would try it myself. I'd rather send it out to someone who has done one or two.

Port your TB yourself, be careful for the thinner areas b/c theres a possibility that you may port through to the other side(grain of sand size) thats when good ol' JB Weld Comes into place.

Very simple to do actually..

which one would be better?

Ls1 Throttle Body
or
Ls1 Throttle Body w/epoxy

I couldn't notice the difference honestly, but that was because I did it after heads/cam.

Becareful with epoxy that stuff can break off in chunks and end up bouncing around in your motor.
