Default How do I port my throttle body?

I hear alot of guys that have a ported throttle body. What is the procedure for doing this and what benefit could I get out of it with the mods in my sig? Thanks :thumbs: :cheers:

:iagree:
He wrote an article on it. He emailed it to me and I followed the instructions and it worked out great. It looks great too. I recommend chuckster also. :thumbs: BTW, It was pretty easy, I did it while watching football. It was hard to convince my wife that the aluminum dust wasn't going to hurt the carpet! :D
