Tips on porting a stock TB?

Probably picking one of these up and going to port it myself. Anyone done this with success?

Any tips and pics?

Just get a die grinder and go to town.

There are pics of ported stock tb's on REM's website.

be careful porting around the actual blade areas, if its not perfectly round the throttle blades won't seal properly and you may have idle issues. other than that you can't go wront, get rid of that **** in the center.

I ported a spare stock TB i had. I just got the dremel out and went to town on it. I think it helped a little and the TB was 30 bucks so it has to be better than a 300 dollar one.

That's interesting. I guess he changed his mind about the effectiveness of porting the TB. I would prefer the singleblade instead myself.

At this time we are porting stock throttle bodys for $99.50. Shortly we will have an exchange program!

BTW: If anyone has a stock throttle body that they would like to sell email me @ Tommylightning@outrageousperf.com

Wish I only spent $300 on a TB

When I drop by to pick up a line-lock Tommy, I'll bring a stock TB
