Bigger throttle body
Rotary Performance offers a bigger throttle body. Is anybody running one? At what point would this be a useful mod.? Opinions?

That's not a valid point.....what if he put in the larger throttle body and made 530? Or what if he made 500 with the larger one, then you'd say it was soley responsible. Not enough info to base this part on one person's stock throttle-bodied car.

Maybe I should have said that in Adam's case and on his car, either he didn't think it was worth it, dynoed it and found it wasn't worth it or just didn't care to do it. Either way, if he didn't think it was worth it for what ever reason then a lightly modded car, won't show very much of an improvement in HP, or if it does, is the HP to dollar worth it for $450?

BTW, it the last magazine article it stated Adam was still using the stock throttle body and that was when he was making the high 500 numbers.
SO if he thought it would have added HP, I'd like to think he'd put it on and try it, dyno or not. IMO, I thought about it, I'm making 321 to the wheels at 12 psi and when I called RX-7.com, the internet sales guy, not Trey anymore, basically talked me out of a CF driveshaft and the throttle body saying that HE thought it wasn't worth the money.
