My new 52mm throttle body
I ordered a bored out throttle body from HiPoTek http://stores.hi-potek.com/StoreFront.bok. They are a great company to deal with. My e-mails were responded to a lot faster than expected. I was having problems with my pay pal account due to my credit card number being stolen and they gave me alternative suggestions on how to pay. They said about two weeks turn around time. I got it back two weeks to the day UPS said they would have my core. I sent in a core to be modified because I wanted to make sure I had the correct throttle linkage. For the price, this is a great simple upgrade I would suggest to anyone.
I love this thing. It seemed like I had a dead spot when I was accelerating. The best way to describe it is it felt like turbo-lag only I don't have a turbo. This t.b. cured that. Now the acceleration is even. The butt dyno says it has more power but we'll see next Saturday when I take it to the track. My best time is 15.2 but the weather back in January was cooler when I made that run. If my times don't improve I may have to wait for it to cool off to get a fair comparison.

I have a 360 and no I don't care. I built this truck as a shop truck and tow rig. Good fuel economy would be nice but it's not my top concern. I have too much fun with this truck being heavy on the throttle.

I also got the Hughes plenum repair kit. Jet Hot is located here so I'm debating on whether I want to get it ceramic coated to keep the heat out of the intake.
