poor man TB
well over the past few week i thought i would give the home brew tb mod a try.
here is the extra tb i bought
i can't believe how clean it was..lol
next i cut the air horns/fins off
then i went down the my buddys and he offered to take it to the machine shop that he works at and bore it out for me
put backed together
i put on the truck, at first it didn't to do much but take off was alot easier... after the computer relearned a little i had a better take off with less and better throttle response..... but then the $hit the fan..... now i have a problem in 2nd gear so i went back to the old tb and i helped a little but the problem is still here but not as bad,, going to try to fix the trans problem before i put it back on, i may start a new thread about the trans if can't fix it..
and now with the old tb back on i can really tell difference

thanks pcfixer.
going to try my best, my trans problem only happens when shifting at 2000rpms or less with the poor man tb it would do it all the time, so no to what i does, so form take off 1st gear it will shift into 2nd it 1600rpms then like shift into second again almost like its double shifting this all happens with in a sec on it shifting into 2nd gear the frist time.... so out of 1st gear at 1600(now in2nd) drop down to 1500(we are in 2nd) then jumps back up to 1600 then back to 1500 like it shifting twice..... also the shifts are hard both times
now with the stock one put back on it harder to get it to shift werid, but when it does the shifts are all so hard...
hope this makes cents
