Unless you grind out a hole to fit a bigger butterfly plate, a ported T/B with a stock sized butterfly plate will only give a "touchier" throttle. It will not flow any more nor will it give increased dyno results. You can grind out a shallow floor and ramp it up to the plate. Do that on both sides and when the plate barelt opens, a bunch of air can rush in prematurely. That is the only benefit.

It took a little off my 0-60 times, so it is clearly doing something. Haven't run it on the 1/4 so I don't know if it would make any gains on a longer run.

Ok, thats good info there. Doesn't seem like it all that expensive to do so I'm going to look into all that after I get my muffler situation sorted out.

I sent an email to one of the guys at thefastman and he told me a new throttle body runs $100...$150 to port it (Front Side Bore, Knife Edge Blade, and Half Shaft) and then $12 to ship it... So about $262 for everything.

Whoa, the price has gone up up up. Here is the pricing from when I got mine, I found it in my old emails.

"Hmmm... I though I answered all my emails. Not sure what happened but here
is the straight and skinny on the Hemi TB's.

I do not have a core exchange on the Hemi TB's. I will modify your existing
TB with same day to overnight service or sell you a brand new modified TB
outright.

Your Modified TB $75

Brand new Modified 5.7 TB $100 plus $75 = $175

Brand new Modified 6.1 TB $130 plus $75 = $205"

wow...ya it's doubled in price for the porting. It is still cheaper than Moe's, but I'm gonna hold off on getting one until I do a few more things first...
