Gigs Performance Ported Throttle Body - Experience Anyone?

DavidN · May 26, 2017

Just stumbled upon these today:

Anyone here with any experiences with these ported throttle bodies?
They look pretty good, there's a lot of positive feedback on eBay and FB and I especially like the idea of the modified throttle shaft. Should give a good amount of additional airflow @ WOT.

Talk to Matt over at Moes Performance

Stand up guy and will answer any questions you may have

I have been very happy with mine

I would suggest saving your money for other parts that make more power instead like a CAI, tuner, and long tube headers as ported as well as even larger throttle bodies do not increase power much at all with no noticeable difference.

I'm familiar with Moe's Ported Throttle Body.
Ran one for a few months.

Is that true bore or tapered? Can you put up a pic of the blade open?

86mm tapered to OEM machined bore for throttle response with the ~4mm of WOT increase from half shaft. Plenty for ~500whp. Backside is polished and intake matched.

Does a modified TB make a noticeable difference on a hemi with headers and 91 tune? Or is that a supporting mod for a Cam upgrade and blower?

It’s a nickel and dime mod, really smooths throttle response but nothing like long-tube headers or a tune in added power and efficiency. The OEM 251 throttle body is adequate for the 392 cars in terms of CFM, but they were lazy with the bore machining for volume cost.

How much are these ones going for?

Just wondering by intake matched do you mean the backside of the TB reds to be cleaned up to match the intake opening?

~$180 +shipping there, turnaround was under 2 weeks.

The factory 5.7 intake usually has molding flash that was cleaned up along with matching chamfer in the TB.

They port 6.4/5.7 intake manifolds as well.
