Unless you have a need for a ported tb, I'd put my money and time elsewhere. They don't make much of a difference until you make a lot of engine mods that need more air.

If I were you I would just do it yourself. I did a little reading on it and plan to do it myself soon.

Spartan Performance did mine and it turned out great. Josh is very knowledgeable on LSx cars. Took the time to make sure it was perfect.

He'll definitely be getting my business again, and I would reccomend his services to anyone.

If you plan on doing a head and cam package in the future save your money for a Fast 92 intake and NW 90mm tb.
