i am about to do the tb mod this week and while my tb is at the machine shop getting welded i was thinking about having them port it.
what would the benefits of porting it be, and what exactly would they need to do to port it? also, would i have to change anything else because of the porting? |

[snapback]710292[/snapback] [/quote] Not real knowledgable on porting in general but I would think that porting a tb would allow a higher amount of air to enter the engine than compared to a stock tb but would probably give ya minimal power gains on that old ass motor ya got man. Maybe with tuning you could pull some power out of it but I think ya would probably just be wastin money better spent elsewhere ya know? |

[snapback]710586[/snapback] [/quote] does anyone know about this from experience? i know some of you guys have ported TBs |
all the "extra" air needs to go somewhere. so if there arent any supporting mods, then gains are minimal if any.

[snapback]711454[/snapback] [/quote] so youre saying that the tb mod isnt worth doing? i thought it cleared up the tb and made throttle response better? i know it gets rid of the coolant line that runs through the tb which should help cool it down |
