SMG will bore a Eco TB, but i believe you have to send one to them.

SMG is the way to go, and they are in America..so you do not have to pay customs fees.

so is there a noticeable gain in the high end?

the throttle body helps wonders especially topped off with an intake. I have an reveco 62mm and it helped out. I do notice that there is a lot more push in the top end.. i didnt really notice the difference in the low end so i'm not sure if i lost much.

GM makes and sells alot of TB's

I just used the 75mm one from a 5.3 LS engine of course i build a custom intake to go with it, lets call it a "bird catcher intake"

Im pretty sure that the throttle body from a grand prix which is larger will fit... those can be found at your local junk yard

take mind of what the throttle body opening on the manifold is.

why get a larger throttle body if the opening is still the same?

isn't much room for porting either if my memory serves me correctly, could be wrong...

62mm on the stock manifold is pretty much the max you can go (again, if I remember right)

did you quote that guy from tri-state dragway, thats what he said, it was sooo funny! i just chuckled. yea i now have a 4" rubber scoop on it, i ordered it a few days before the bash but didnt come in in time, oh well still went 13.41 @ 103 and change

and just got back from test and tune at local track, ran 13.49 @ 102, then let the car cool down, going for the record run and broke yet another axle, we will be back

I like my custom TB...it may go up for sale in favor of something more like what Ben has though MUAHAHAHAHA

62-62-62 IIRC. Very hard to do and only one way to make it work right. I think me and Roy and MAYBE PJ are the only ones who know the secret for getting an extra 2mm out of the TBs when boring them.



I used to race cars, now I race myself.
