A while back there was someone selling ported & polished throttle bodies on Ebay. Does anybody know how to contact that person? Any reviews on that product? Any suggestions on who is offering this service or making replacements?

If you are talking about the OEM throttle body's that were ported....
I'll just say that PBJ had one in his shop when my truck was being worked on. He dyno'd another truck back to back with my stocker on it and again with the ported one on there.
There was NO GAIN and NO LOSS. Identical numbers from each pull. He went ahead and ported mine because I wanted it done with the port matched intake. But I really don't know if it did any good. :dontknow:
I do think the exterior polish job on the OEM looks great.
2 cents.

I finally got a hold of the person selling them on Ebay. His name is John. Does anybody have any feedback on his product?

wish i had a better picture to show you.. i'll post up when i get X-Metals TB
here... but in the mean time here's the stocker..
it's not really restricted.. but IMO for a 505 cubic inch engine it should be
bigger than that.. :dontknow:
:rock:Sharpi
$299.99. Thats returning your core back to him. He said he had one core left. Here is the link that will show pictures of the stock TB versus the finished product. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...STRK:MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=230114995712&rd=1

If that is Stuttle....he is a great guy.....
bought an extra wheel from him with a tire on it....he told me the tire had 8k miles on it.....when it arrived...there were 2 tires.....he said after that he wanted to make sure the tire was as advertised....so to make sure, he put an extra one in that was practically brand new...:rock: :rock:
