Throttle body bore in DFW

I heard that there was someone up here in the DFW area that would bore out the stock throttle body on the LS1 for $150. Has anyone else heard about this and if you have do you know where I can get a hold of him?

You would have to get a new blade cut if you want bigger then 75mm at the blade. OTher then that the safest you can get it bored out without breaking through is somewhere like 80-82mm. I can get that done as well.

If you're wanting to go with a larger bore TB and can't afford a 90/90 setup, get with V6Bird's friend. If Mike says he does good work, he most likely does
