correct just a tapper from what I can see. I think it was a (one of the brothers)Wallace in the NASCAR back in the 80's who did this.

It's a great mod. Your car comes alive much faster. The only down side is having to relearn how much pressure on the gas lets you go neighborhood speeds, and how much nearly launches you into the neighbor's mailbox
Both.

The ported TB looks the same as a regular one on the outside. Vmax does stamp their name on it, which I don't like. I don't want evidence its an aftermarket.
It does get rid of the dead spot but you get used to it. Its worth it. |

Good for both auto or manual, and do a search here for a detailed explanation of the science behind the VMax CNC pattern cuts so you can get an idea on the why and how.

I got my ported throttle body from JDP awhile back. The throttle response was very noticeable at first but now I can't tell the difference probably because I've had it installed for a couple years now. What I'd really like to get my hands on is a ported intake manifold to go with the TB.

You should not need a tune with a PTB, or a cai, for that matter. If your K&N is causing the CEL, that's a problem. Tuning for a cai means the cai is not operating properly.
