LS engines made 3 to 5whp with a ported TBhow are we getting such big (percentage wise) gains from a ported TB????
Don't get me wrong... Not a complaint... Just surprising from someone who's used to seeing little to no gain on LS motors.
What engine is that throttle body for?

It's because it's a forced induction motor. The moment you open up area's where the motor can breath in is the moment you can get more air fed into the motor. More air takes more fuel which makes more power. Add the fact that he has an upgraded turbo with a 3inch down pipe and 52LB injectors and the gains are certainly going to be noticeable. I wouldn't be surprised if he gained a good 6-8hp just from the TB alone. So realistically with the stock TB he's making around 264whp. with the ported TB he's probably making close to 270whp when dialed in. I'm most likely incorrect but it certainly doesn't seem improbable.
I realized that after blue moon said forced induction would the tb be a lot less on a 1.8 because it's not forced induction
sorry, I missed this on my earlier reply.
All of that makes sense. But earlier in the thread cndctrdj reported 23 whp before a tune... that's awesome.
