Ok I am installing my trickflow intake and some one told me that it isn't going to run right unless I upgrade my throttle body as well...they say thatn the car will lack power....? I do not have the money for the throttle body....I barely had money for the intake....I just moved out of the parents house and bills are kinda tight but since I already had the manifold I decided to get it put in....I would do it myself but time is an issue...i'm always working now...so will the car run good and not lack power if I run the TFS street heat manifold on a stock throttle body?

Check my sig..

runs great with stock MAF and TB

have a 75MM maf on there and the stocker feals much stronger.

i do have a FPR on there set at 40 right now. You might need a little more fuel to make her run perfect.

It will run fine with the stock TB. Get it one when money permits.

Run the stock TB until you upgrade to good heads/cam, then put on a 75mm and be done with it!

75mm is a little hefty for a street car. i think with hci, 70mm is more than enough air. but, my $.02
