    the more air the better is true, but he wanted to know if there would be gains. Im willing to bet it he used a stock tb with a turbo setup (pending full build info) and dynoed, then used a N* or bigger he would see negligable gains ~5hp. Not worth the extra money if you ask me

    BUT, there is a limit to where you would see gains that warrant the expense.

    I've seen a lot of turbo setups with the stock tb, some actually switched from N* to stock when converting their setups to turbo. I remember reading something from maybe Matt M about the benefits of the stock tb but i can't remember... lol Maybe it was something about the MAF on the stock tb or why they couldn't use aftermarket mafs?? Duckcall still has the stock tb and maf on his impala.

    yea, i believe he does say there is a maf benefit but i wasnt taking that into factor. it is a valid point though. If you have an ls1/lt1 maf tho it shouldnt be too much of an issue to a competant tuner
