I pretty much have the same setup as he does. The only difference is he has Kooks headers and I have BBK headers. But he picks up 20 rwhp at 4750 rpm and 23 rwtq at 5k rpm. Not bad for a TB.

I'm not buying that. Something is fishy. How can it help when the intake opening is smaller then the throttle body?

I don't think the size of the intake opening matters, the air gets moved along fairly quickly through the runners. So the more air that gets pulled into it (you have to also tune it to add more fuel with the added air) the more power it makes. But I have been wrong before.

So do you think this could help out the boss intake cause it making big improvements down low?

I wouldn't spend 3-5 bills on a throttle body for a N/A car. I would rather put that money towards a more noticeable change...like gears.

True which is my next cheap mod. I'm going with 3.73's.

There is a car just like yours (pictured in your avatar) here at the building I work at (Legacy One)...and I like it....I like it a lot.

thats like saying that the stock maf on a fox body is not a restriction. Only so much air can flow through a given size opening without help ie forced induction. It is pointless to put a large throttle body on an intake with a smaller opening. yes that tb will flow more air, but when it hits that huge lip just past the blade, it will stop. I wouldnt surprise me if you saw a loss by putting a larger tb on as that lip could possible cause unwanted turbulence. Not saying it will, but it is possible.

Now if you were to pull the intake off which takes all of 10 mins, and port the opening of the intake to match the tb and create a nice smooth flow, then yes it is possible to see a nice gain.
