porting?

ight im really interested in porting my TB and the part of the intake that connects to the TB. i will eventually do the whole upper and lower intake but not now. my dad said it would be hard to do. what do you guys think. do you think i could do it? im 16 and i've never done it but im pretty good with mechanics and tools and such. if you have any tips or comments please leave them.
thanks

why dont you just buy the ported up and lower intake from chris torres not sure if he does throttle bodys
if he doesnt get a 65mm throttle body

+1 just a ported or larger throttle body will show no gains or even a loss because the throttle will hit the inside of the upper intake under full throttle.....so it wont be able to open fully.

i would port where the TB connects to the upper intake. that way the TB doesn't hit. and eventually will do the whole thing. i would love to buy it from chris but i don't have the money. yea im pretty sure i have that tool or a tool like it. my dad is more worried about getting everything off to do it. he thinks it would be a pain in the butt.

The TB bolts onto the upper intake.....are you talking about a spacer or something...or even KNOW what you are talking about?? You cannot make use of a ported or larger TB WITHOUT porting the upper intake.

OR, get the split port intakes and port them in your spare time and then once those are done, get some nice split port heads from Chris and drop it all on at the same time

... the fastest V6 mustang has a coupla grand thrown at it... no way he is gong to have the fastest V6... so its a better idea to get the most power with the least amount of money spent, and a port and polished split port swap is going to be his best bet

yeah its STILL single port, which means it would be FASTER with a split-port.

im sure he has a good reason keepin it single. he dropped all that money in it already, im sure another 800 bucks wouldn't bother his wallet too much when he has a six w/ 670 hp.

670 RWHP or at the crank? split-port are a better head design...theres a reason Ford got rid of the single port in the first place.

he has over 800 rwhp from what i remember correctly, and he doesn't have the conventional intake, he has a fully built SSX from ssms... with fully home ported lower intake... all of this feeding the best flowing heads that money can buy...
