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?

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 *** 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?

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.

why? it makes no difference in the way the car runs, unless the secondary plates weren't opening anyways, but thats a thermovalve being bad, its external

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
