The porting focuses on the loading edge from the air intake coming into the throttle body and the back opening it up for a smoother transition into your intake manifold, making these transitions smoother keeps velocity, air flow, throttle response and power up!
The main flow increase through the throttle body comes from removing half of the throttle shaft and countersinking the bolts holding the blade into the throttle plate giving a great increase in flow and helping to eliminate a choke point in the engine. Just like installing a high flow air filter or free flowing exhaust this makes more power by making air easier to move through the engine.
We also sandblast and then paint the throttle body with a black ceramic engine paint for good looks. We mask off the gasket area's for leak free performance and protect the electrical connectors.
People usually report about the same seat of the pants power increase as a cold air intake or free flow exhaust. Your performance gain will depend on how modified the the rest of the car is and is cumulative with and other mods you have done. The computer usually takes a bit to adapt to the increased flow just as with any other bolt on modification.
These throttle Bodies are 99$ shipped in the continental US vis USPS ground. Shipping abroad or expedited shipping just ask for a quote. We do require a core for all our work and can do this two ways. You can send your stock working throttle body in and upon receipt I will mail out the ported version or (what most people prefer) send me a refundable core deposit of 79$ which will be returned after you ship your throttle body back within 31 days. (otherwise I need to replace the core, I can be flexible with this if you keep communications open)
