Default Anyone here ported/polished their throttle body?

I have done some porting and polishing in the past(lots of old school stuff). Thinking about tackling the throttle body. There are blunt edges in there that can make a difference.

The porting/polishing part I'm not too concerned with, but is there anything else to worry about? I know the throttle position sensor is mounted to it, what else would be a concern?

I have them in stock and can ship with a core exchange so there is no downtime!

Got a little time this weekend. I may pull it off and have a look.

If I think I can handle it I may go for it, if not I may consider the weapon x.
