I was wondering if anybody had enlarged there throttle body, I'm sure it would have to be custom because they don't make crap for our cars. And do throttle body spacers work or not.

what the heck is the point if enlarging the throttle body anyway? if you don't have a bigger intake manifold, you aren't going to get any more air into the car. and bigger intake manifolds don't give ANY performance to a non-turbo/sc car. none. especially not a little economy engine like the 7afe... for all that trouble you might get 1 or 2 HP. maybe.


not tryin to dis on you but that's not quite right... when you are buildin a N/A engine the most important thing is your air/fuel mixture and the more you can process through the engine the better... granted inlargering stuff on its own wont give you a whole hell of a lot but anding bigger injectors and increasing your duration will help termendously on a N/A vehicle

edit: even a 1 or 2 hp gain is still better than what you had before... and on N/A engine like other types there is accumative effect.... the more you do the bigger the gains
