That sounds awesome!

I hand ported my throttle body! It's a little rough still cause I ran out of wet sanding paper but it increased throttle response beautifully

Some pictures:

Mid process about to wet sand and polish


Final product


Didn't touch anywhere around the blade where it closes but in front of and behind the blade got attention

Yep! There's more people here from Louisiana than I would have thought too!

Mississippians are rare. I don't think most of them have internet, yet.

Yep pretty much but his are a bit more well done, I ran out of wet sanding paper sadly so it's not the smoothest but I'm happy with the result. I was tempted to try and slim down the shaft that holds the blade but didn't want to risk it

Yep that's a house phone haha I think we have it only for my mom who usually works from home

Kudos to you. Idk that I'd have the balls to even try.

About halfway through I had the thought that I should have bought a spare to mess with in case I mess up lol pretty happy I didn't take off too much. Although I think I could've gone a little further but I'll leave that for when I actually get a spare TB

use enough lube... I'd get some optimum ww to use as clay lube. Adams is too expensive to waste.

it's not called 'wasting' when you are using it for what it was designed for. Go ahead, use the 'good stuff'.
