What TB do you guys like??
What TB do you guys like?? I've been looking around and want to know what gains you guys have been seeing with the new TB out there. I have also been looking at sending my TB to Total Engin AirFlow to get mine ported to 85mm and reshaped.

I am using the OE TB... Works great and IMO no need for replacement. You can get a better response by porting the OE unit.

been so long since it was done, I dont know the answer to either question. there are (or used to be) places that would port your TB on an exchange basis... thats what I did almost 4 years ago and I still use the same TB.

Now that I think about it... it was ported to a 75 or 76 MM for $150 Exchange... You can see it works like a Mo Fo with the new Blower motor!!

Shaner S2. You won't get big gains, but its inexpensive enough and will improve your throttle response. Also, many have reported 5+ ft/lbs torque increase under the curve.
