Re: aftermarket throttle body?

it will fool u into thinking it made a difference because since the diamiter is larger the throttle is actually opened up more with less pedal travel.

like i said it is a total waste of time and money

Could someone fabricate a pair of 1/2 to 1" spacers to make the upper plenum runners a little taller i heard that may help our engines breath a little easier at high rpms?
