Anyone here live in the D/FW, TX area? I want to get my intake manifold and throttle body ported.

Another thing, I've read here that the max the TB should be ported is 57mm. What about the intake manifold? I want good gains but don't want to lose a lot of gas mileage, this car is my daily driver.

what good is porting the intake manifold when the head is not ported?? If anything I think this would cause turbulance. Your guy's throttle body's are bigger then turbo TB's dont think you have much to worry about :)

Heh, well if it doesn't do any good without having the head ported then I guess I'll get the head ported first.

So back to my original question, know any in the D/FW area?
