Larger throttle body is it worth it

01-06-2002, 09:11 AM

I was thinking about a larger throttle body If the stock one is 65 what body MM should I try. I know I need the egr spacer to match is it a waste of $$ on a blown truck or will it give it some extra punch????

Dennis, my understanding is that there is no gain on a pusher type blower such as Powerdyne or Vortech. It may help on a puller type like a Kenne Bell as it becomes a restiction on those types. It would help someone on all motor with a lot of mods, and then it is questionable. There has been posts recently about no gains and problems with going to the 70 mm versus the stock 65. Let's see what others have to say.

Black93lightning,
Said, Alot of guys on here have tried them and were not really happy with the results. From what I hear one of the things you will lose is that crisp throtle respones that i know you love.

65 mm is all the throttle body you need on the GT40 intake. Like Marcus said, it's even all the throttle body you need with practially any mild combo.
