I am looking for a decent place to get a p&p throtle body from and not pay an arm and leg.. Will be going onto a 01 ls1.. Also would I need to port the intake also? Thanks..

New Era performance parts a sponsor on our board did mine! Awsome job, great customer service you cant beat $75.00 + shipping. Quick turn around call Mike or Matt 585-865-1832.

you dont need to have your intake ported but they also could do it

I did mine myself! Nothing too difficult. Just some reshaping! Dont go too hog wild. Those walls are really thin in a couple areas!!

I've delt with S2performance and New Era- both outfits top notch in work quality and timeliness. I suggest either place would do a great job.

PS. Mike and Matt at New Era bent over backwards to accomodate my needs-- kudos to them
