Shaner Polished TB's

[ss~zoso~ss]

Was thinking about sending my TB out to Shaner to get the S3 package, any one done business with them, is this gonna really give me any power / throttle response?

thanks

I haven't had any experience with them. However, I can tell you that porting (polishing is optional) your throttle body and having the bump stop ground for WOT will give you a real increase in HP/TQ and throttle response.

Had it done and would recommend it to anyone. he is a great guy to deal with and has incredibly fast turn around time.....a great mod and a great seat of the pants feeling......

I know him personally and have been to his house many times. Watch out for those dogs of his. I think he feeds them people.
Anyway he does top notch work right out of his garage. Good guy. Lives next to the GM plant in Arlington, Texas.

^^^whats a bump stop ground and how do you get that done

[c5z28]

stock throttle bodies have a plate that stops the throttle body from opening past wot, problem with stock throttle bodies is it stops the plate from opening 100% grinding the stop back a little enables true wot.

You won't regret it.

I had mine done by Shaner also, very nice guy.

Not to put Shaner down at all but if it costs you $159.00 to get your stock throttle body ported and polished wouldn't it be better to take that money and put it torward an aftermarket throttle body such as a 92mm Nick Williams or FAST. Both of these TB price for just under $400.00 and if your gunna do other mods your already set with your bigger TB.

you have a valid point, but I will most likely never do nitrous , cam / heads , or FI, so my stocker will be plenty, just gonna get the most outta it!

I have a shaner s3 and would recommend him although I waited a really long ass time for mine so be prepared for that possibility. Some people get them fairly quick, I didn't.

How much HP gain?

Cant you do these mods yourself? Or is it super hard? I get the theory.

Depends on how good your hand-eye coordination is. And it's a good way to work on it while also improving your toy's performance.
