Joe why don't you just buy a tmax. No more dyno runs when you change something. Spend more now to save on the back end.

I stopped short of polishing my intakes because I have always heard you want the intake to be turbulent to mix the air fuel better. Is this not the case?

That was true of carburated motors ... the fuel has to pass all the way through the manifold ...

However, it is not as important with fuel injection since the fuel is being sprayed pretty much right into the intake port ... the fuel injectors do a pretty good job of atomizing the fuel as it enters the combustion chamber ...

Joe, how much for the exchange? I have a stock motor with stage one mods. Would I need a new download after installing the ported throttle body?

Yes as it's flowing X% more air.
