idk if id trust myself with porting plastic lol, ive done a fair share of heads throttlebodys etc but plastics never been in that list. as for the porting being expensive thats definitley what i figured. ive come to the point where im just trying to push this thing the furthest i can go without hanging a set of rods or making this turdbox lose power.

 

There is money better spent in other places, especially that TB right now.

 

really think that tb is hurting me that bad?

 

I'm just hypothesizing that because it sounds like the only remaining bottleneck in your setup right now. I don't know exactly how much of an impact it will make to these specific engines, personally, but it definitely sounds like it could be the one thing holding you back. I know it makes a big difference in N/A applications, especially with extra plenum volume and air being pushed through the engine.

Some experts can probably chime in with real world results and advice though. I'd hate to guesstimate and you waste money.

 

itd make sense that itd be the last restriction other than my heads, hopefully some others will chime in as well(not that i dont trust your opinion) i just like hearing a everyones opinions. id think itd definitley make a little bit of a wake up and really help in the mid range-high end dept

 

Just remember that your stock t-body was used on the 8.1 375-425hp engines and even the 8.1 525hp HP3 crate engine. It was also used on the 405hp LS6 with its 6600rpm red line.

just some things to ponder.

thats a valid point but hopefully i net some gains, im looking for every little i can get lol
