Performance Throttle Body???

I was wondering if there is a performance throttle body, or if i can do something with it so I can make a custom intake its very annoying having the throttle body inbetween the intake.

Thanks

How much work do you really want to do because the throttle body is between the intake? Really?

Keep in mind that this setup will not run very well on the stock ECU and is complete overkill for even my application. It's going to be very twitchy at light throttle driving because it eliminates the stock progressive throttle and the idle will have to be raised to compensate.

you can fab up a 75mm throttle body from a mustang. Thats the most popular TB that people use.

Polishing the inside of a TB is a complete waste of time...

Yep, it's been proven that air flows better over a slightly porous surface anyways...
