throttle body question

I have the hsr and installed a bbk 52mm throttle body, tried a stock tpi tb to see if the rich condition continued, ran little better? Should the hsr use a 58mm tb? Just a guess but could a rich condition mean not enough air?

Re: throttle body question

By your reasoning it should be the idle air bypass, but the exhaust oxygen sensors should detect the richness and pull fuel.

thanks, so the 58mm is not going to matter. Just don't know why it ain't working like it should? I'll post on diy prom.
