i need my intake manifold port matched to my TB (68mm)… who does it/a good job? and how much would it roughly cost…+ turn around time? thanks ---

not worth paying someone to do. the port matching bullshit only really applies to NA builds when ur looking for every last bit of power. if ur turbo or mild NA, its not worth it. ---

just go buy a dremel and some sanding discs and do it yourself, the throttle body is def something you will want to do esp since you have the first gen skunk2 intake manifold ---

Do it yourself. I ported my Victor X manifold to match my 78mm TB. If I can do it, you can do it. I used a double cut carbide burr from Mcmaster ---

Just the TB inlet size to plenum is pretty fail safe, so somthing good to DIY if you want to. If not I can do it, if your looking for somone. What intake is it, and TB? ---

the dremel and the snake attachment (or if you have air HF has the same deal in the air version) work best. i went right up all the intake runners, and all over the inside of the main body getting all the casting flash off. didnt take but an hour,and ya might as well gasket match it too… i pnp’ed everything i could while collecting parts for my car… ---

i stopped over @ don’s place today to check things out and I’m going to be pretty much way too close to the IACV port on the manifold, the manifold now is 64mm, if i went to 68mm, i would have 1mm and less left of clearance the 68mm TB for my car is 135$ shipped, the 66mm throttle body is 265$ shipped ☹ is it Ok to use my LS throttle body for my b16 head? I want to get my car running stock Ls size is 60mm, i just want to know if everything will just bolt up and “work” ---
