Best place to get UIM/TB ported and polished

I think I have a rebuild/street port in my future and plan on getting an Xcessive LIM, I would like to have my UIM and TB ported out to match for air flow and was curious where the best place to have that done would be.

I have searched, however any suggestions and personal experiences would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking, I just figured I'd see if there were any other places with feedback.

Fwiw, I'll probably end up getting an extra UIM/TB and send them in with the LIM to ensure they all mate up, then do a before/after dyno comparison for some, no ****, result recordings.

I can have both manifolds ceramic coated with the silver/aluminum finish. It'll look terrific plus have functionality to it. The TB I can do the port/polish internally but the externals will have to be done elsewhere.

^^ I think BDC is the place where Rich (GoodfellaFD3S) gets all of his done and where the group buy was done thru. Send Rich a pm. I was apart of the group buy and am super impressed with the results.

Gorilla RE can do this. Here's mine.

Rotorsports Racing offers such services along with bored TB and extrude honing.

+1 For BDC. Great guy and there is a method to his madness when porting/polishing the TB. He just did the porting on my motor and is very easy to work with and does phenomenal work.

Awesome, thanks for all the feedback guys!

Well, "sooner or later" is coming sooner rather then later =(

I just hopped in the 7 (had to jump it, it's been a while since I took her out) to head over to my girlfriends and it was DEF not making the power it should have... Double checked the vacuum at a light and sure enough, it was searching from 0 to -10 inhg, where as she used to sit at a strong 20.

Looks like I'll be making some calls tomorrow, and taking the car up to PFS on Tuesday for a rebuild =(

Good news though! IF she made 367whp with a dying/dead motor (I might have put 300 miles on it since the tune) and stock ports, I can't wait to see what I'll get with a streetported motor and ported LIM/UIM/TB
