"""58 mm throttle""" is this good?
Not familiar with this part, but would it benefit me or be too much? I have headers, no cat, hypertech chip thermo master, airpump pulley replacement, ported manifold, k&n, forced air--through front plate, air foil, helix spacer plate, thanks !!

Only reason I could see a 52mm upgrade would be if you had a fully ported lower manifold, large runners, or just the whole SuperRam setup where you could actually rev up to 6K, otherwise its probably just going to be a waste of your 2-3 hundred bucks.
You can take a look as the stuff on my old 85, never needed anythign bigger then 48mm, pulled just fine :)

That would be way too much for a modified 350cid.
A 52mm TB (AS&M) would work fine but likely won't improve HP without intake, cam & heads.

If the price is right, it would be a good deal. You may want to spend the money on other things first. I worked a trade for mine for $100. I have changed everything on mine from air filter to exhaust tip. Everything ported polished, siamesed, and gutted. If I hadn't already done all the other work, I probably wouldn't even have blown the $100.

ok, I won't....just wasn't sure what the deal was with upgrading the size,,,,what do you think is the next step, I was told--cam, but I would have to have someone remove the engine for a bundle of money then, wouldn't I ? :confused:

On an 85, you would be better off saving for new heads AND cam.
Yes it costs alot of money, but real HP is not cheap.
