Jordans 16 is a manual with the VMax ported unit and it made great power. The auto could help create the illusion that there is more gain but it really just boils down to the clutch work in the manual taking some of that initial throttle response away, or making it feel that way anyway.

Just received by ported throttle body today and honestly I'm not that impressed. I waited 2-3 weeks for it and it cost $150 plus the core. What i got i could have done with a dremel and i am actually finishing it with my dremel!As you can see from the 2 pics they did take out some of the lip but not all!There is still a part on each side and a big part at the top! I'm not a person that expects things to be super crazy in the porting world but when i could have done it with a dremel it seems to be a bit ridiculous to ask $150 for especially when i have to fix it with my myself for it to be fully ported! just my 2 cents!

That CNC port design was developed through testing and seeing what works the best for airflow. The material that is removed is removed for a reason and the material left is there for airflow and drivability reasons. You can't compare a hand ported throttle body with a dremel to the quality of this piece as well as the performance results. If you're removing material you're not helping the flow or performance and honestly you're compromising the overall performance of the unit.

Our A8 picked up 8/8 on the dyno with the PTB only (different brand). Same day as the stock dyno and a little later in the day with higher ambient air temperatures. They dynos are posted in the dyno section.

The pics SoCal has on their site of throttle bodies is exactly what you'd expect to see from a porting job!! That's nice work right there.

I purchased a ported TB from Katech for $232 without sending them one, that way I get to keep mine.

I would love to see someone actually quantify their improved throttle response. Everyone makes it sound like there is this incredible lag between your foot and the crankshaft. There isn't. Go log pedal, throttle, and RPM while driving around at a high refresh rate.
Ported TBs are not worth anything. Do you think GM designed the inlet the way they did because they had to find a home for extra aluminum they had on hand? Everyone is looking at WOT gains but not paying any attention to the fact that 99% of the time you are running at low loads low RPM. Those lips have a purpose and the dyno charts don't indicate messing with them is of any value. |
