Recommended shops for TB porting?

I've been searching and would like to see what shops/companies people have used to have thier stock TB ported.

I do not have a dremel and by the time I buy one and get the grinding wheels it will be as much as the TB exchange... thanks!

I've been looking for the website of Bo White and Mark Shaner... I remember those guys from my Camaro days.

Its doesnt really give a HP gain. But you will feel it. It makes the car more...responsive and snappy when you stab the throttle. It just feels liek it can more quickly grab that big gulp of air.

Usually 5 to 6 hp. Sometimes 10.

Did my own, pictured on the right, with a Shaner S2 on the left.

I did the halfshaft mod on both of them and of course, polished them both inside and out.
