Default Crossfire Throttle Body Boring

Hi,
I am looking for someone to bore my crossfire throttle bodies.
Need them BIG, sleeved? 2.125 inch or bigger. Or willing to buy your set sitting on that shelf.

You should know that they won't make any difference on a stock or stockish motor, other than making your throttle more sensitive on the low end.

I bored mine myself using a boring bar, to 2.09", then radiused the inlets, raised the "towers", and removed the "swirl plates". This was on a modified 400. On a stockish 350, bored TB's won't do anything.

You can sleave then to go larger than I did. "Dan the boring man" Plette (I think is the spelling) does them.

You may find him on the crossfire forum under user name Lions Den. CF Forum is temporarily down. I had him do mine to 2.00 in. many years ago. I may have his phone number at home if you need
