There is a place in Chesapeake that does it at reasonable prices.
$65/wheel, not sure what they charge for misc parts.
I'll get the company name from my friend who talked with them.

Why don't you get a Bauer ported throttle body. It's $180 and it cannot be beat........... Bauer ported and powdercoating

Thanks Trent, I have heard of the BBK Throttle Bodies, but $180 is not bad at all for a ported and podercoated trhottle body. Think I may go this route. Thanks!

This guys work is exceptional, he not only ports it, but he sections the throttle shaft, puts in set screws for the throttle stops, fills the Idle Air/PCV void, and also cuts the WOT tab back so it opens to a 100% like it's supposed to. You will get a nice gain from it, and good throttle response. He has a very large variety of colors to choose from. I got mine done in a polished aluminum powder coating (looks almost like chrome), with a gloss black throttle wheel.

i can get wheels powder coated for around 35 a peice depending on the size so im guessing a throttle body would be even cheaper ....( my grandpa owns a bussiness were we have connections to this stuff)

how much do you think it would be for a valve cover? i wanted it done with 3 different colors... black for the cover itself, then there's "Mitsubishi" that i wanted in white, and a diamond star that i wanted in red... it's all on the top of the cover, so i was wonderin if this could be done hopefully witout too much hassle
