60mm to a 65mm...Worth it??

Dark_5.0 · 06-10-2002, 12:52 PM

I believe that the throttle body is the bottle neck in my set-up right now. Have any of you noticed a drop in ET after the throttle body swap. If it will knock off a tenth then to me it would be justified.

Thanks,
Later.

Then I'd have to say it'd be justified.

With your ported E7 heads and aftermarket intakes you're overdue for a 65mm TB. Get it.

Anyone have a 65mm TB that they want to part with???

A 65mm throttle body alows 10% more air over the 60mm, you should have gotten that along time ago. But it will never yield a tenth in the quarter, except maybe on a high-line blower/nitrous/turbo application.

Definetly get it and make sure you get a 67mm EGR spacer or hog your own if it will take it.

One thing, are you still Speed Density?

you should of grabed the one no the explorer..they come with them if i am not mistakin..someone correct me if im wrong..yes it is worth it..what rpm is the power dying down at..about 5600?id grab one..just dont even think of getting a 70mm..too big equals no bottom end power

Dark_5.0 · 06-11-2002, 08:50 AM

Yes, Sr................Still speed density. Right now I am still running the stock cam and rockers though.

I am shooting for a 13.4 @3000ft. In a month or two I am going to try and run a mild cam.

I shift at 5400 rpms.

Damn, GTSR515 not even a tenth, that sucks but I guess every little bit helps.
