honestly man, you dont need a ported tb. the gain you see from it is nothing at the phase you are at. personally for the money i would buy a cam. since youre on a budget i know a decent cam for you. on a typical LS1 it should gain you about 30rwhp. its ligenfelter GT2-5. specs are 222/222 .566/.566 112 lsa. this cam works with 918 springs. if intersted PM me. ill sell you the package for what i paid for it. im thinking of going something much larger for my new setup. ---

Thunder Racing Custom “Reverse Split” Camshaft - 227/224 .569/.563 114 LSA (This cam will check in the 226 range on the intake lobe.) 2200-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. Automatic cars require computer tuning and it is recommend for optimum results on manual transmission cars. Better piston/valve clearance than 230/224 cam for applications using heavily milled heads and/or larger than stock valves. Slightly smoother idle than 230/224 cam. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended. i think thats what im gettin, what else do i need for it? im thinking manley nextek spring with titanium retainers, a new timing chain anything else i need? ---
