throttle body upgrades....

i found a website (www.60degreev6.com) that had a ton of upgrades and mods for the 60*, most were fwd but lots of rwd also. my question is, is there any kind of porting that can be done to our throttle body or is there any aftermarket throttle body availabe for the 2.8/3.1? with the CAI, ported everything, cam, blah blah blah blah blah, don't you think it would be good to have a bigger throttle body, say 58mm as aposed to out little 52mm?

I have been thinking this myself. However when I had the tb of the intake, it didnt look like it could take anymore. If you did find one, you would have to port the intake also. But if someone knows of one, let me know!!!

It can't be ported much . You have to be carefull to b/c if you have not ported your heads and intake and you dont have a cam you can loose power from doing this .

As far as i know, i have never seen a bigger tB and i hav done a lot of research.

I WANT ONE THOUGH!!! A 58mm would be nice.

If memory serves me, wasn't the TB on that site for a FWD car???

click on products/ then click on throttle bodies/ then click on plenum porting instructions
Sounds like the company is looking for vendors to sell there products. It apears we can't buy them as of the moment. I found this months ago when they were availible but have been waiting for carb approval on CHC's headers before I purchase this. I want to make sure I can open up the exhaust flow before I get involved with the rest of the motor.
