larger tb with supercharger
larger tb with supercharger
per my last post it seems that the concences is that a larger tb will provide some gain over the stock unit even on a supercharged application--that being said then how big is too big?should i get the 58mm and just be happy knowing there is nothing bigger(other than the mono blade) or should i get the 52mm and try to keep the velocity of air passing thru up?any reasons to get one over the other?
thanks

If you are using the stock plenum you will need to port match the inlet to get the benifit of the 58mm T-body. If you don't want to do that the 52mm will bolt right up with no port matching required.
With aftermarket heads I believe the 58 won't hurt you. I also feel the larger T-body bores will allow the plenum to be filled quicker and the supercharger will keep the velocity high through the T-body at least when under boost conditions.
