throttle body?

Posted By: bhoward On: 01-04-2008 @ 15:12:41         Reply | Edit
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.

You don't need it. It's not going to help.

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?
