v6 throttle body options

I was just curious if there are any other throttle bodies that would hook up to a 3.1 other than the stock one?

Re: v6 throttle body options

Not really without good modification. You can actually knife the throttle blade down, and open up the mouth a few mm and the upper intake can also be opened up a tad to match the TB. But really unless your going for a high HP n/a engine the throttle body isnt a real restriction compared to other areas. The restriction is the heads, the upper to mid intake and all its winding arround(air doesnt like all of those turns, and did I mention the heads...lol
