Ported and Polished TB

I just bought myself a ported and polished TB. I've been doing a lot of reading on LS1Tech lately and it seems like a popular mod and one that should be done before the big one's are put in place. Next I'm looking at is an LS6 intake manifold. I'm not looking at HP gains right now, mostly just trottle response and like I said I can't have this holding me back when I get more mods put it. Here's some info on the TB:

It has been bored to a bigger size which also removes a .120" ridge infront of the throttle blade. The throttle blade has been thinned down and radiused around the edges. The throttle shaft has also been thinned down to half its original size . It has been machined to open 100%. The throttle body was professionaly ported and polished

You'll have to ask him, he told me he takes them to a local machine shop to get the work done.

Here's a current auction he has so you know the seller - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/throt...QQcmdZViewItem

Oh and all his auctions are no reserves so you have a better chance of getting one at a great deal from him. Best part was after everything was done he ended up buying my stock one from me for $50 so I ended up paying like $50 for the new one.
