Default boring stock throttle body

i was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on where i can/should get my stock gsr tb bored??
i did search h-t but not much info popped up, the two names i saw were jg and a small business called maxbore.com that seemed pretty legit. are there any more shops that offer this service?

thanks in advance

Maxbore is the only one Ive heard nothing but good things about. All the others seem to have had issues in one way or another...

yeah, it looks to be a kinda mom and pop operation but sometimes thats where the best quality work comes from, im strongly leading toward maxbore.

I have not had an Omni or blox but have had a few Professional products throttle bodies. From what I've heard they are the same throttle bodies. They look exactly like a stock unit and are relatively affordable. IMO they are the best throttle bodies for the money.

Ive said it before and Ill say it again, Omnipower USA is the most under-rated aftermarket company for our cars these days. Been around and successful for years.

i actually have omni power camber kits front and rear on my car already, have not any problems with them and have been rolling on them for years. i think i may end up going omni power, sounds like people are having positive experiences with them
