A bigger TB won't help unless the engine needs more air but they won't hurt anything so I didn't try switching back to the 58mm TB.
If someone will tell me how to post the dyno sheet I'll post it.

I'm running a monoblade from AS&M.
Very nice piece.
I noticed a huge difference from my 52mm. I don't have any before or after times or numbers to prove it but the SOTP is one of the most noticeable mods. Gotta be up there with gears or a small shot of nos.
Then again my motor was screaming for more air.
377 with a big vortech T trim.
Don't know if your 406 will benefit the same?

Thats awesome. My 52 is literally about to fall apart and i've been thinking about porting the stock intake and using a monoblade. I lost my ported intake when I sold another motor (duh) so i'm still running a bone stock LT1 intake.

The next move is going to the Victor Jr or sheet metal intake. Don't think it will make 500 rwhp, but close.
I also heard you did pretty good also. Congratulations!!
