Throttle Body Mods?

Ok I dont understand why there is TWO upgrades for the V8 throttle body but not ONE for ours! Thats about stupid! I mean da*n do you guys not get fed up with no one making sh*t for our cars!? Im sorry but Im just alittle tired of us V6ers being in the IROC and Z28s shadow. And it doesnt even make sense! You see more Firebirds and Rally Sports than IROCs and Zs! Anyways...Does anyone know what we can do about our trottle bodies? Is there a bigger one? Thanks!

the fiero throttle body was made by a performance company ( cant remember who it was) but its larger than ours...

BUT, im working on fabbing a 3.4 intake to a 2.8...if u look at the TB compared to the 2.8, theres a HUGE difference, that or a grand am intake which has a fuel rail and all...

It'll raise your idle RPM's, but I filed mine out just a hair to widen up the intake. Also, a TB spacer and rerouting it's coolant lines will help on principle.
