Throttle Body - Port and Polish??
What can be expected from having the stock throttle body port and polished? Is it even worth it from a performance perspective?
Is it something that has to be sent out to do or can I do it myself?

Take a look at www.LS1tech.com and perform a search on "ported throttle". Also, do a search on this forum on "ported throttle", search titles only, current and archive, and C5 Corvettes 1997-2004. Be prepared to do a lot of reading.

If a vendor who is good at doing this for Corvettes?
On the LS1tech forum a lot of people use Bo White, not sure if he does Corvette Throttle bodies.

Having my Shaner installed this afternoon. It should be interesting. Need to see if idle changes and may get a dyno run, after a few days of driving, to make sure A/F is still dead on. I haven't had it dynoed since before I had the Yank installed and I'm curious as to what I'm running now.

Stop before you get to the intake manifold. I'd tell you how to do it but haven't got around it putting on the parts yet.
