HI!... I believe I was the 1ST one here to port the stock TB and TB ELBOW. Mine were done about 5 years ago.

HI!... You will need the following to do the job right and somewhat easy :

- One 3" 60 GRIT paddle sanding wheel.
- One 3" 80 GRIT paddle sanding wheel.
- One 3" 180 GRIT paddle sanding whee.l
- One 3" 240 GRIT paddle sanding wheel.
- One 3" cotton polishing wheel.
- Aluminum polishing compound.
- One *STRONG* high speed electric drill. (DO NOT USE A DREMEL)
- One carbide cutter. (cylinderal with rounded tip)

well i atempted to do it this weekend but i treid to do it with my battery operated drill, i almost got done with the throttle body beffore my batt went dead i am going to by a plug in drill and finish off the throttle body and elbow this weekend and i will post the results and if i could feel a diffrence witch i doubt since it will only be a hp or two from the better airflow, i also found my old bolts for the throttle body so i can take off the stupid throttle body spacer, if anyone wants a brand new throttle body spacer with all the hardware for a 5.4 it is a poweraid i will give it to the for a cartoon of smokes or a case of beer
