95$ could have gone to some water injection.... As far as the aftermarket world.. I'm not in it. So I can't say amything. White Flag on that point.

Ughhh just delelte this whole mess. He bought the damn thing anywho smile.gif

Damnit Chris, Quoting was messing with me. I didn't change shit. We get 10hp...gee...without the big center section there...I wonder why... What are the gains of a ZZP HVII TB? ( I honostly don't know )

I never argued that all this was untrue. For 95 bucks, thats not to bad for something that may produce marginal gains. You would think companies with 600-700-800whp cars would fine the stock throttle body inefficent by your terms and get into the market with porting them or giving you a bigger one with the kit... Yet they don't.

Maybe I used poor wording. What I meant was to make an accurate comparison, the MAF center section sticks out like a sore thumb, reduces this "efficency" you speak of. To have a true shot of a 65mm bore, that would need to be removed, and the MAF plumbed in externally. Theres this thing called an opinion....

Understandable: I was like that too when I did stereo installs. I talked with a few local shops and they say knowing the location of any screws, or door panel plastic thingies, was crucial. They also recommend either using a rubberized undercoating on the panel prier, screw drivers, and etc. You can get it at napa for like 5$ or so. Another option is to tape up the tools with electrical tape.

Anthony, I just used that as an example. the stock GT Throttle Body has the smallest bore of 65mm, and is good for flow ( with the center section removed and LT1 or LsX MAF inplace ) and it did perfectly fine carrying our 3800s into 118-125 traps...keeping in mind...this is respective to our motor. Taking a look at some turbo kits around for the Ls1 motors...they put down 600/700/800 plus and mention no special throttle body, only a larger MAF. I checked HP and Speed Inc. Both have kits that throw down outrageous numbers. Maybe smokinHawk or Mike with the Lingenfelter, can chime in if they have their TBs replaced. Amen. Won't argue one bit there. 95$ is what, maybe a full tank or so of race gas?

Did he go for the temple?

Chris, I'll stand by my statement. Ed took a stock TB down into 11s, Turbo Tim has taken a stock TB into mid 11s, etc. It wasn't the bore or shape, but the MAF that was out flowed / became the restriction. You’re probably the last person I would need to be telling this... I don't quite get your reference to blowers...TBs don't heat the air and really have no efficiency values other if they are just to small. But, I dont have an LS1 so, port away. [ 02.

Nothing like taking pride in your own work. I would get ahold of somemone with Mitchel On Demand or All Data if you want to hard wire it into the car. Most GM's usually have an accessory power drop somewhere around the dash.

A 75mm bore is good for well over 100hp/cyl, esp. in a blow through system. save the $, and use it somewhere else.

Taking out the baby seat, and rewiring the damn canadian peice of shit annoying waste of energy day time running lights.

two things.... a.) he has a car to race ( may catch shit for that one ) b.) he raced it...your brother still probably has the mark from the radar detector imprinted on his fo` head.

Z speed rated.......for a powerstroke??? He a drug smuggler?

Hi Nic, Congrats on getting the car up and running again. She's looking pretty clean and has a table top torque curve which you rarely see on motors! Kick up the boost homeslice!

This guy is from my home town!!! Yeeeeeeeeee...thank god I moved.

haha, thats great and so true.

Awesome! Good motor choice!! Tap the Windsheild Washer resivoir and load that bitch up with water injection! Most effective thing for a hundred bucks you can do to that motor!
