so what that'll give you what little bit more power over the stock TB? i mean i got mine from FASTMAN and it was just a true Bore to 68MM so its straight through 68MM not going down to 65MM in the back like a coke bottle effect my stock one had. He said 10WHP with that so i just went with it! Blown with the mods i have would going up to a 69 help out at all or should i just stick with what i got?

I would stick with the 68mm unless you go to a 72mm or something like that from F/B. 68-69mm would not be worth the $ to HP gain IMHO.

If you have a mild amount of mods a 72mm would be too big for you anyway. My pleasure to pass on the fastman Blown!

Isn't that kind of the same thing I was saying? It wouldn't make performance any worse but not really better either... right? even if it did add a few horses it probably wouldn't be worth $200.

Eric, this is my 1st performance throttle body so I will let you know how it works out for me. Today Travis and I boosted up to 8psi at 4,500 rpms several times without issue. Next week I will try a WOT and see if all holds like I think it will.

I see what you are saying... I meant it would be too big for the amount of power difference he would be expecting.
