i heard stock is 48mm but the intake is 52mm.is there a noticeable difference if i was to get the 52mm throttle body? and also i heard theres a 54mm throttle body that bolts right up to stock 52mm intake. anyone know if this is true and is it worth it? wonderin if i change my throttle body to bigger will it gain much hp or performance for the money. --

even worse, you need more mods before you bother putting a TB on there the stock one is good to around 400 HP --

Overkill on a fairly stock engine, from what I've read. I've read that the stocker is good for quite a bit of power. --

Hi bhoward , read my mods , there not too extreme . I will tell you when I put the 58mm t-body on and ported the manifold to match , wow what a noticeable difference . No joke . My main main reason for the t-body is im going to supercharge . Hope this helps . --

I've been reading all the post about TB upgrades and no one has any solid facts. I just got my 52mm TB and dont know if i should install or sell it back on ebay?
