Thread: Throttle Bodies ?

now that i have finished my exhaust i was going to buy a new throttle body and just wanted to get some input from you guys on which on i should go with

mods?

not worth it unless youre to the 3.2 pulley area. you might gain a horsepower or two.

cool thanks that's all i really needed to know i am not at a 3.2 pulley stage yet, so i will just wait on in until i get to that stage

Never hurts to have a stock ported TB. Talk to Reptile. I had mine done during the cam install but a buddy just got his done along with his ported S/C case. Better throttle response and MPG's too. Not just all about numbers Butt dyno likes em

yea i was looking into that actually, can i use the same stock MAF after i have ported it?

You can, but you'll need MAF tuning since the MAF tables will be really off. It'll throw your trims pretty positive.

I have a TB ported by Reptile and I love it. Great throttle response. Of course, I installed it when I did my top swap so that may have added to the effect.

^^ The man does good work

i will have to shoot him a pm and get a price, can i buy a different MAF instead of messing with the tables on my stock MAF?

No. It's not the MAF itself that's the problem. It's that you're changing the diameter of the TB around it. That will change its readings for a given airflow.

Yup...more air...different readings...have to tune for it

ok cool looks like the next thing i will be saving up to buy is a tuner
