Thread: throttle bodies-whats the best bang for the buck?

can someone tell me which is the best choice as far as what tb to go with.(my blower is not ported). and my mods are below. thanks

Ported stocker, ported blower/LIM, re-tune the PCM.

I'm a fan of the N*. It's bolt on, toss new maf table in and go.

Bang for the buck, ported stocker is probably better since all you need is a dremel and JB weld. The N* is bigger though, and you'll need a MAF tune either way.

Which is like a 3.1-3.2" on a GenIII blower...hence why I say...ported stocker.

On that Matt, the best I can do is give you some unscientific messing around I've done. I ported the hell out of a Gen 3, smoothed and you name it. It helped, really did. Didn't compare with a Gen V though.

Tempwise the Gen V was about 100F cooler than a Gen 3 on the same run. Obviously different engines, both cars run the same though. Even if the airflow is the same (M90 to M90) the cooler charge should make up the difference.

Vendors won't share either.

Lets use GPF math.

Like Bill said, you can't even begin to compare a GenV to a fully ported GenIII.

Get to researching, research man.

You'll see what I mean.
