Default Question on throttle body porting

bought used car and noticed that the heads have some porting done



just wondering if the throttle body looks normal to you or it has some grinding on it? Just wanna pass as much info to my tuner as possible.

Looks like it to me. It also looks like they used studs to hold the heads on with, so someone built a serious motor, I think.

The one head bolt I see is a stud.
