ported throttle body
Do you guys think a ported throttle body is worth it or is it a waste of money.

yes, it costs nothing if you do it yourself, and it makes a difference

I just did mine today. works like a champ. Do that with the free ram air mod, and you got all the air you need lol (almost)

If you consider 5rwhp worth it.
Worrying yourself over 5-10 rwhp here or there does no good. Do the big mods. Only bolt on's I'd really suggest would be the lid, and exhaust type things. Porting your TB.. doing smooth bellows.. shit like that adds up in the end.. but it won't be the determining factor in a race really. Never was with me.

If you get a better cam, and its asking for a lot more air, I "highly" suggest you let it suck more air with a better TB...don't let it choke your LS1.

It'll improve your throttle response too, makes it that much quicker to get more power to the wheels from a dig.
Definately worth it.

I did it - bought one - and it really didn't make much difference. A bit better throttle response, but the increase in horsepower was negligible.

Basically your engine is only going to try to suck as much air as it needs...if it doesn't need any more, it isn't going to benefeit from a larger TB.

I have always been the believer in "All the little stuff adds up in the end to bigger stuff!" Right? Hey ZBONER I checked out install university, there is no how-to on porting and polishing the throttle body yourself. Does anyone know of a link that it shows how this is done. If not what is the normal cost of having one done?
