For the price, it's a waste of money. 99.9999% of the FD population will NEVER need such a mod. Oh and FYI, big bore TBs are also offered by RE Amemiya, Knightsports, and FEED FYI

PS: YES, I'll be getting to your email in the next day or two. Promise

Thanks for the info. I but off buying the polished tb from goodfella. I did buy his black coated intake manifolds.

Just gettting those part together for the next engine. I hope I will have the engine by next year.

I plan on making 500+ rwhp and I haven't really considered a bored-out tb. I don't think it's a performance bottleneck, esp on a boosted application.

The TB alone wouldn't do a whole lot. If you add in match-porting the UIM you can gain some airflow. RTS3GEN here on the forum ported his TB and UIM a while back and then began to experience boost creep problems. So, that validated that he did get some increase in airflow.
