Ported throttle body
Is it possible to get our stock throttle body and port it out? If so how would this be done? i would really like to know so i could try this and not have to buy one for 300 or more dollars

It is awesome work. I did it a while back but it lost power. Later I found out that auto and manual tranny uses different throttle body sensors. I was trying to use a manual with my auto and didn't work. I'll prolly send mine in again once I figure out if it will work with the intake I'm getting.

Rep Power: 788 yea. make sure you use the correct tb. The sensors work with the ecu (also dependent on tranny) and using the wrong one causes poor throttle response. I mean a few mm porting should not cause any hp loss. Normally, you should gain at most 5whp arcoss the power band.
