Default Painted and Ported TB

Got the above item from SpinMonster and dealing with him was a breeze. It was painted and ported, quality well done. Price was relatively inexpensive compare to what others charge.

To be honest, throttle reponse improvement is marginal which is what I expected. Hey at leat, it looks nice and he did a bang-up job, thanks.

Sorry...been really busy with moving and trying to get my wireless at home working has been a chore to say the least

Oldmansan was working on it for a while for me (awesome guy by the way ) and he's a computer guru, and it's still not working...

I'll get some pics up soon though, Spin did a great job on both the TB and Fast. Just gotta make some time to get them on here!

I just got my spinfast and tb installed today. He does excellent work!
Make sure when you assemble it you use the O-rings he supplied on the botttom of the injectors and the washers to clamp the fuel rail down (READ SPINS INSTRUCTIONS). Personally, I think this is a better way than using FAST's ls2 fuel rail adapter kit because it backs the injector out of the manifold and has it firing thru a little extension tube. Also, try to get the brake booster hose off the manifold early on and unplug the oil pressure switch. Last, don't forget to change the valley pan bolts and set the rear 2 intake boltS in the manifold before you set it in place.
Get it retuned!

It's a little flat when I first crack the throttle. Need to get it retuned to take advantage of the improved airflow. I'll post the numbers.
