throttle body mod...

Who does it? I have a spare throttle body and if the price is right I might just get it bored out...
Is it worth it? At what point does it become a restriction???
TIA
Manny

I've heard that the stock TB will flow enough to make 550 hp. Your intake manifold is the restriction to big HP right now. Keep a stock TB and make a new intake. There is a ton of info on the forum about the intake etc.

it's always going to be a restriction, it's just a question of degree.
