re: porting throttle body.

Honestly its really not worth porting the stock throttle body. You arent even really notice a differece at all either. personally i would just look into the accufab 70mm throttle body and also a c&l mass air. With doin those simple bolt ons you will smooth out the power across the band and will equal fast et's. good luck bro and let me know how you do.

Thats poor advice.

Unless youve got a blower an aftermarket maf is not needed.
