Default Ported throttle body

I was looking into having my throttle body ported and was trying to find a good website to do it. I was considering having lingenfelter do it but didnt know if that would be a good place to have it done. Has anybody else had theres done at lingenfelter and if so what are your comments. If anybody else knows a good place to get it done please respond.

Thunderracing.com will take your core and send you one, but I dont recall the price. Look in the classifieds, you might be able to find one in there.

Looks to me like it is much more time consuming to say what you said instead of www.neweraperformance.com, unless you didn't know yourself which then you would need to do a search

I understand telling people to search but when the answer is one word, just tell them

+1 for Tim, did a great job at a resonable price. Also will send you a ported one, then you swap them out and send your core back so there is no downtime in case your car is a DD.

Yes, very good. I like www.neweraperformancePARTS.com for the Ported TB.

As far as I know ( ) this is the Newbie tech section. I say let the people ask anything in this forum, thats why its labeled newbie. If you dont feel like hearing same questions being asked, dont come in. I dont mind helping out, I was there once too. Other sections though, be careful what you post.

I disagree. We didn't spend hours of our time creating sticky's so someone can come in here and ask a question that's related to them. I'm all for people asking questions, but at least read the sticky's and try and do a basic search. You don't have to spend 20 minutes trying to search but you at least need to try.

No your totally right. I didnt mean for it like that. The stickys are amazing, hell i still use them after all the years ive been on here. I guess I dont mind coming over on here once in a while and helping out. To bad when someone registers there couldnt be a powerpoint that comes up that the newbies have to read. That would be awesome.
