Default Polished throttle body

On a stock throttle body that as been ported & polished do they use the original butterfly, if so won't the butterfly be to small. I looked at a few and they all look like they used a stock butterfly. Won't this cause a problem. And how much do they port it . I was going to use a BBK But I see to many bad thighs on them what's up with that.

Check Mark Shaners web site for good photo's as well. The opening is changed slightly and polished and the big square hole is filled and polished as well. The throttle body is also smoothed behind the throttle plate and the lip and smoothed as well. I think it is a great mod.
