Besides the epoxy fill, how are yours different from the Shaner S3? Just wondering as that is the version he furnishes for the C5. He appears to make a good product as I've never read anything but good about them, but they are spendy. Not trying to start a war, just want to know if there are any actual differences as I'm on the fence about which to buy. If it's an unfair question within this thread, let me know and I'll delete it.

I do not use epoxy to fill in the air holes because I do not want to risk anything flaking off there and on it goes into the engine . The only time anything is used to fill anything in is if the casting is gone through in a certain thin wall area (common issue because all castings have core shift changing wall thickness) but this only happens in one out of every 15 tb's . For the supposed performance gain you get out of it , it isn't worth the risk in my opinion .

Thanks, I appreciate the comeback. Is any work done to the rear of the throttle body, also, or just the inlet side? Thanks!

The rear is untouched . It is pointless to do so when the blade diameter is not going to flow anymore no matter how big you make the rear .

I have a quick question for CrazyMan. I noticed in the pics you put up that the bar is gone in the middle of the Blade, do you rework that or attach it in some different way or is it just out to make the pics look cooler?

That's the half shaft mod. I guess it allows for a more linear airflow with less turbulance.
