Default Port and Polished Throttle Body

I'm getting my throttle body port and polished, and I'm wondering how much I will prob gain from that, and if it's better than buying a brand new aftermarket tb. I'm guessing maybe 3-5 rwhp?

You'll gain a ported and polished TB that'll gain you nada, zip, nothing, zero... minus your $$ outlay. If you were FI or internally heavily modded, MAYBE 3-5 RWHP. But you're not. So zippo.

Oh well...it's free so why not? I figure when the heavy mods, like you stated, start going on it will benefit for something

Yeah, but the weight of your TB spacer is negating gains from your other mods. Turn in your man card!
