Hey snflupigus

Would you be willing to send the Throttle body base that you would do the ultimate TBI grinding mods by C.O.D.? And how much of a difference does this mod make. I mean I am sure it is a pretty insignifigant difference but I am just wondering.

i dont know exactly how much its good for, but its a start. Enought people seem to be doing it that it makes a difference. I would say. "noticable"

COD? that cost more money man, paypal would be better. If you dont trust me, well, i think people here could vouch that im not a bad guy. well, most people.

I like your sig bigred. Really I think there is no other place for TBI guys to get as much info. I'd like to have a TBI dedicated page but I'm afraid it would get so big and some of my opinions might make it bias. Actually what do I care, it's my site...it'll be bias if I feel like it .
Snuf, you gotta explain the TBI grind to me, I'd like to know more info.

Hey snuf it is not that I don't trust you, I am just new to alot of this stuff, so I wasn't sure how the best way to go about all this was. Hey could you e-mail me and explain the paypal way of paying for it? I have heard of it before but i am not familiar with it.

Hey JPrevost like it says in my signature, this is by far the best forum for any TBI specific guy. I am on about 3 other forums but since someone pointed me to this sight I will be coming here with all my TBI questions. You guys are a major help to me and I hope that someday I can be a help to somebody here. Sounds like you got your car running right JPrevost I have been thinking about some of the same mods to my truck but lately I have been a little stuck on appearance mods and fixing some stuff I have gotten tickets for. Anyway it is about time for me to get back to work on my engine. Somewhere in my trucks future is a new motor probably a TBI 383 or maybe an LT1or maybe a MPI 383 or maybe.......... well you get the point, I am not sure. But thanks for all the help guys.

im just talking about pretty much doing the ultimate tbi mods, to the 2 throttle body bases i have, and selling them, so that somebody scared to mess with theirs doesnt have to. i think a base is worth 50 bucks without the flow improving mods. Hell, maybe i can bore em to 48mm too. but youll have to get the blades yourself. i know there are people out there afraid to start grinding with a dremel on their own tbi.

Well if you bored them out to 48mm, what blades would I need to use, and how much would you charge, I am very interested in this and if you get me a price on this I will see about the paypal deal.

What kind of truck does he drive, there are a couple of sights I know of, but most of them are geared towards certain models of chevy trucks.
http://forum.sportruck.com/
*this one has a little of everything and is one of my personal favorites, there is about every kind of truck on here but the majority is S-10's
www.pacific-audio.com/performance/discussion.html
*this one is an all chevy sight with alot of the 96 up silverados and a bunch of Z71's

those are the best two I can think of right now that are really active sights and are filled with knowledgeable people. One sight that is up and coming, but does not have many people yet is
http://gmtruck.dynamicracing.com/phpBB/
Hope these help.
