Houston Port and Polish

I did my own with a dremel and some sandpaper, also did the halfshaft mod on the shaft with a hacksaw. Not hard and took two hours. Do a search for porting TB.

The dyno showed a 4 rwhp gain above 3000rpm, but I actually lost power below 3000. Also, you have a 87mm TB, I have a 78mm, so if I gained 4rwhp from opening it up and smoothing it out, I doubt you would see half of that on top of the same displacement engine with a 24.4% bigger TB feeding it.
