Factory Throttle Body

stangt00 · 03-01-2003, 07:58 PM

I need some input here. I was thinking of putting my factory throttle body back on, but leaving the rest of my mods alone. If I do that, I will get more velocity but less volume, correct? On a N/A car, is that better than high volume with low velocity? I am gonna S/C or turbo eventually, which in that case I will put it back on. But for now, will I benefit more by having the factory T/B on?

I would just leave it on you already spent the money and time to put it on .

I wouldnt waste the T/B, I think it would benefit more with a power adder and thats when I would re-install it. Just trying to find out if N/A the factory T/B would perform better without having to test and tune at the track. I rarely get time to do that nowadays.

On stock or lightly modded cars, its best to stick with the stock T/B.

If you're using a blower or turbo, stick on the larger T/B....
