Default Im back.....proof of ported TB gains.

I am here again simply for the fact some of you will just not leave me alone . I "quit" back in '05 because of job placement and didnt want to turn into a horror story like some may know about thats happened here and abroad. I wanted to treat everyone like I had always been able to and wasnt sure if that was going to be able to happen with the change. Well its been 2 years and Im pretty well used to everything and know whats what on my end. Now for you people, I am overwelmed sometimes of the emails/PMs/calls I get sometimes of wanting a "comeback tour" and Ive contemplated it myself from time to time but basicly didnt do it until now. I am here, which I really never left, and if anyone says that ported TBs are not worth it...that theres no real gain....that your blowin your money gettin one....Im here to show them differently.
Like this bone stock 1998 Formula M6 car owned by BigE, put one on his car ALONG time ago lol- we even hooked the coolant lines back up to the ported one we put on:


Or like this 1999 C5 M6 car owned by a local guy thats got a 226 cam, headers with no cats and stock catback and a blackwing filter...again, coolant lines reconnected:


Or like this 2005 GTO M6 car thats also locally owned with a Magnaflow catback, one thing I regret is we didnt have the wideband O2 working so I dont know what was what on the gains leveling out but it was consistent on every pull:


Anyone thats doubted...wondered....new....didnt care, well here you go

I have mutual respect for Tim, he does for me as we have talked to each other every once and a while. I have respect for alot of porters across the country, we are here to provide a service.

1 week. I can and have knocked em out sooner than that but 1 week is worst case. Like I said Im sponsoring again for the people that still want me to do work for them and so I can serve them properly on LS1TECH. I have a job and this is just something I do on the side.

Got any LS6 CTS-V cores? If so, sign me up.

LSx guys are the toughest crowd around, so if they love you then you must be good.

Actually the LSX Vette guys are closely followed by the LSX GTO crowd . I have a C5/CTS-V core but I shipped it lately of a matter of fact and will get a core back later.
