Default Guys with ported TB's come on in

I am going to be doing the swap in the near future and it doesnt make any sense to run the stock throttle body with all the casting imperfections and evreything especially since Ill be spraying alot more nitrous through it so I think it will help with the nitrous delivery too. What brand should I go with? I know that the shaner tb's are good but which level and what are the differences(the s1 s2 s3) or the bo white tb or any others that I may be missing. I dont want to mess with it myself I am going to be building the motor basically myself and thats enough on my plate.

I'm using a throttle body done by R.V. Morse Machine.
Throttle response improved greatly.
Cost is close to one done by Shaner.

Got any pics?
Nah, I should of but, I was in a rush to bolt it on.
Actually, I'll get some for you in a little bit.

I have heard good things about Bo White, but I hear that he has gone into semi-retirement and that he only does so many a year.

Shaner is good, and the S1-S3 are based on what your driving preferences are. As far as what work is done to each, couldn't tell ya. But Mark Shaner is the nicest guy in the world, I'm sure if you called him and asked, he could tell ya the differences. Tell him I sent ya.

That looks damn good sportside the only thing I like better about the shaner is that the gap at the 10 to 11 o'clock position is filled in so the whole thing is smooth with little tubes going to whatever it is that they vent.
