The LS3 porting picks up a little less than the LS2 porting. You should expect a gain of 15-19 rwhp from the LS3 radical porting with TB ported. The TB may pick up a few from porting, but it is primarily the crisper throttle response that makes it worthwhile. If your car has never been tuned, the tuning by itself should pick up around 10 rwhp in addition to the 15-19 rwhp gain from porting.

All,
I just got back from having my car tuned a TJ Wongs and the numbers are in.
First let me tell you I have an 08 Vert A6 with AR 1 3/4" headers going through highflow cats and Corsa Sport exhaust. Other additions are a Vararam CAI with throttle body spacer and a tune by TJ Wong.
Over the past winter I installed a ported intake manifold and throttle body from Peak Speed. The manifold was treated to the Stage 2 porting. Nothing else on my car has changed other than I have added about 7,000 miles since TJ first tuned it.
Right after installing the ported throttle body and manifold for some reason my idle speed dropped about 50 - 100 rpm. It was initially about 100 but after driving it about 30 miles it ended up about 50 RPM lower. I drove about 3 hours south to TJ Wongs and added about 10 gallons of fresh gas to my last years leftover fuel I was still burning and then we strapped the car down.
TJ Wong uses a Mustang Dyno and all of his equipment is the same as the first time he tuned my car. While tuniing for drivability at part throttle and load, TJ noticed the AFR was rich and about 10% fuel was being removed to adjust for it. TJ explained the MAF was seeing more air going by and enrichening the AFR only to have the O2 sensor remove it. TJ adjusted the fuel tables to remedy the issue and we moved on to the first full pull.
On the first pull, the AFR was again a little bit rich and we picked up 12 HP and 14 foot pounds of torque. An additional adjustment to the AFR resulted in an increase of 14 HP and 18 foot pounds of torque.
For those of you focused only on the numbers I think you may be selling the mod short. The final numbers for my particular car came to 414/389 on this given day. What the numbers don't talk about is how the car feels. Tip in is definitely sharper and part throttle respoinse (light load) is way more crispy. This is where I spend much of my time driving (even a Vette can only do 20 MPH in traffic) and I really appreciate the additional responsivness. What about matted ? Yes you can feel it there too. I jumped on it from a 25 MPH roll and it boiled the tires so bad I hit the fuel cutoff before the tranny had a chance to shift. In second it carried the tires and just nipped the fuel shut-off again. I can say with certainty it has never done that before.
My last impressions are this: IM and throttle body porting does work. It may not add as much as a headers and full exhaust with a tune, but you will feel the difference. For a guy like me who already has the other major bolt-ons it was the next logical step for me to modify and I'm very glad I did it. Of course the results are more to the credit of Bob at Peak Speed for the excellent work and TJ Wong for his excellent tuning. I just bolted the thing on and anyone can do that.

Just 2 weeks left of our Porting Special!
Only two weeks left before our porting special ends on April 18th!
We've had several people ask if they could get a credit if they choose not to have their fuel rail powder coated. The answer is "Yes". We will give a $45 credit if you choose not to take advantage of the powder coating on RADICAL porting and a $25 credit on BASIC porting.
So, without the powder coating, the special pricing is:
BASIC Intake Manifold Porting and throttle body ported.... $325-$25 = $300 Total (includes return shipping).
Radical Intake Manifold Porting and throttle body ported.... $445-$45 = $400 Total (includes return shipping).

I recommend that you leave it off. It is to make your car run quieter but I believe it also holds in a little heat. No proof... Just my opinion.
