Default Pictures of my new Ported TB

[IMG][/IMG]





Here are the pictures of my new Shaner TB....

The car seems much more responsive... I'm going to compare WOT HP tuner log runs before vs after to see what the gains are.. It seems like the throttle is like a hair trigger now... very little effort to get the car moving.... The gas mileage seems to be improved as well.. I'll monitor a tank of gas to see what I'm getting... My best before for a full tank was 18.0 because of my bad driving habits....- I'm on the throttle all the time...

Good looking! As fast as your car was with just an intake, I can't imagine how it feels now with headers and TB. Dennis better be concerned about his 1/4 mile bolt-on record falling. Rick running an 11.7 with only an intake and tune will put him damn close with a converter, headers, TB, DR's, and a few other small tweaks/goodies.

By the time I catch Dennis, he will be running mid 10s...

It would be really cool to hit 10.XX, but I think low 11s is more realistic..

I had all my porting and polishing done by VMax Motorsports and I can tell you that the throttle response is unbelievable.

Jantzer Performance is the cheapest throttle body porting I've found at 89.95

Might be something for people to consider who are looking to do it in the future. I'll be going with them. (They have an ebay store and great feedback)

Mark Shaner is great, he has helped me with my throttle body, Fast Intake, and even tune. Highly recommend him. Check s2performance net
