Does anyone know the power gains and how to do it(detail list plz).

 

I've seen 7-10 rwhp increase on stock to bolt on cars! Definately a worthwhile mod!

 

how much is it? what does it do? does it put more wear and tear on the car? it is a considered to be a minor mod?

thanks

 

I also have a question. When people talk about cams they always talk about drilling the TB? What does this mean?

talk to bret, he would be more than happy to talk to you.

 

This is performed to get more airflow through at idle - it brings the rpms up so the car won't stall (with will happen with a more aggressive cam).

I ported my TB myself. It can be done on a metal lathe or with a dremel tool if you're patient.

I can't say I've really seen more than a couple of hp from a stock car in all the people I've talked to. H/C or FI cars may see up to maybe 8-10 rwhp though. It essentially widens the TB from 75mm to 80 mm. The gain isn't much on a stock car.

I don't recommed buying an aftermarket BBK unit - way too many problems with them. If you can't do it yourself, order a swap through MMS or MTI or something.
