TB's ...when to upgrade

[xkuntrycowboyx]

lookin for good info and discussion or thoughts about throttle bodies..

Q:
1.at what point should you upgrade frm stock MAF
2.How big is toooooo big... or is there?
3.Perks?
4.Drawbacks?
5.Thoughts on good brands or what you use

same as before, if there's already a good thread, post a link for me, if it's been a while, lets rediscuss, and if not, lets get some good info in here!

Thanks guys, @d@m

Here is some good advice for you. Buy all this stuff once. I've bought 3 or 4 MAF's and TB's. Get a Pro-M 80MM and BBK 75MM TB and end it. You will never have to upgrade after this. Some people wait to do the MAF when they do injectors so they don't have to spend an extra $100 for a recalibration. Something to think about.

The rest of the users on here can go into detail. Learn from my expensive experience. One time Danielson.

I agree with learning from other peeps mistakes!

I won't get into the size thing!

I will say the stocker will take you farther than most think.

Lets use a three examples here to be clear about what I am trying to get across.

1) 200rwhp combo
2) 250rwhp combo
3) 300rwhp combo

A tb for 1 is a waste IMHO
A tb for 2 is gonna give a gain ... but a small one
A tb for 3 is gonna give the largest gain

IMHO, the above info is only a kind of general guide line one could use to answer your original Question.

my only question... the maf is before the TB...so an 80mm maf flowing to a 75mm TB... = tirbulance in the airflow??? = bad idle?? correct or not?

Dont read too much into it...remember the 80 mm MAF does not "bump into" a 75 mm TB..there is an inlet tube that fits nicely over the TB.

In general a "nice" upgrade is the swapping of the U/L intake, TB and MAF.. When done together, you will see/feel nice gains.
