good aftermarket throttle body? JD edlebooker (sp?) skunk, what are some others. I havent looked at throttle bodies in a year or so. I have intake and exhaust so the power gain should at least be 5 hp.

 

BBK, Erick's Racing. What you are thinking of are the JG Edelbrock or Skunk2 intake manifolds, not throttle bodies.

 

JG Edelbrock does make TB's now. I had one on order about 4 months back but they kept delaying the delievery date for months so I told them to go to hell and I never ended up getting it. I'm pretty sure its a 65mm. I could be wrong but that sounds right. But anyways I personally wouldn't waste your money on a TB. It won't help out that much to be honest. Unless you have a lot of work done to your car where you would need to be sucking in much larger amounts of air. If you do decide to get a TB anyways just make sure you don't get one too big, because that would just hurt your power instead of give you gains.

 

Yea it is a 65mm one. Its on their website. www.jgedelbrock.com

 

just bore your stock one out to 64mm

 

i do have friends at machine shops

 

i just put on the ericks racing 70mm tapered to 68 mm.

throttle response with a bigger tb is worth it. feels great.

kinda expensive for minimal gains. though.

 

There's really no need without cams and intake manifold.

 

I agree. And plus they're too expensive for such minimal gains. Like Bumnah said.

 

I would think the throttle response you felt was from the J's...everyone seems to have the same consensus after putting it on, saying the throttle response is effected incredibly.

You wont see much of anything from a TB...not worth it at all.
