I have almost everything to start on the swap except the studs, Im using a 1/4 inch EGR delete plate, and stepped up to 70mm TB, I was going to guess somewhere like 5/16ths X 18 X 2.25 or 2.50 if they are metric I was going to tap to 5/16.

I believe the size for throttle body studs is– 5/16-18

Let me know the length you need...I'm curious

I went ahead and got some 5/16 X 18 stock and and a new cutting blade Ill cut em real close only so as to only use one washer for a bit cleaner look I got the Fox style CAI kit in red and Im going to hop on this swap in the AM, and see if everything fits and if the hype is as advertised

I never believe the hype anymore...

I just do it and get my own synopsis of it...

Part throttle feel may change, but go to the track, or better yet, the dyno to see if there is a difference...

I imagine if near stock, you shoudn't see any power difference...

Cleaner engine bay -with a valve cover change- and a slightly bigger TB... we'll see. After this I feel the need to Tweec, then the 347 as a winter project..... then ? GIMME FUEL GIMME FIRE GIMME THAT WHICH I DESIRE!!

I run a 3/8" spacer and bolts instead of studs...much cleaner.
