What would be the advantage or posible disatvantage of a custom made billet 64mm throtle body over boring out the stock one to 58 or 61. It would be on a 1550 bigbore. Is it possible to just go to big on the throtle body.

Disadvantage => COST $$$

Advantage => more air = more power

those look good. What is the cost of those. Also if you ever want to run in the AHDA you will not be able to use this TB other wise it looks good. Find a real good tuner that can work with the timing also and you should be able to play in the higher rpms

Rick,

It is not a matter of trusting my engine builder. I certainly trust Paul. He really knows his sh_t. These are new to him and he will be doing some testing on them shortly. I just wanted to see what others like yourself thought about this mod.

I WOULD GUESS IF YOUR RUNNUNG HIS RACE HEADS ON A 1/2 STROKER THEY
WOULD HELP,I WOULD THINK 61MM IS LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE STREET,BUT
I ALSO THINK 1/4 STROKE IS ENOUGH.IF I CANT GET WHERE IAM GOING IN TEN
AND HALF SECONDS MAYBE I SHOULD'NT BE THERE. :(
