5230, porting my throttle body??
Posted by koolade9, Jul-15-01 03:33 PM
has anybody out there ported their own throttle body?
if so, did you make a new throttle plate and just widen the pin?
some info on this would help...

I did mine with a dremel tool. I didn't change the butterfly valve, I just made the inside bigger because I gets smaller and then bigger on the inside.

Yeah I sent off to Howell for $100 well spent in my opinion. They had it done quickly as well.
