yup a good machine shop will not have a problem with that

Did you gain anything from boring your throttle bodies ?? I am thinking of sending mine to Max Bore ...

this... While I love your willingness to buy all these baller parts.. there are just not enough gains to justify that price tag.. IMO

the quick test showed a peak gain of around 7-9whp last year
since I had a problem with a cracked flywheel which caused the knock sensor unhappy (vibrations) we decided to not fully tune with the bored TB to much

im positive the gain are there and valid..
but again the bored out TB is not the one from mines company but a company here in Toronto who did the job on my OEM TB

in NA form in general it cost about 100$/1whp once the car is fully completed by basic bolt-on..
so if I gained a good 7-9whp for 500 $ & 100$ gas money it showed to be the norm..

anyway
all that big talk right now wil re-confirmed in mid-april
if the test doesnt show anything good ,, well atleast I would have tried.
