Ported Hemi Throttle Bodies from Moe's?
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.

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"
